Multiple instances of an app open?

Is it possible to open multiple instances of a Cocoa app?

I know you are going to have something to say about this. The app is a windows app, that I've ported. They've done it in such a way that if they wanted to make it multiple document, it would have to be rebuilt from the ground up. Tons of global variables for just about everything. Even stuff that should be passed on the stack is made global, for no reason I can see.

So there is no way this app can be made multiple document based.

Is there any way multiple instances of the app can be opened then? I know this is wrong and bad, but I'd just like to know. I'd like to do it in a graceful way for the user, not ask them to duplicate the app in the Finder :)
