It works under ME ! ... that great.
Thank goodness someone ignored my assumption and gave it a go.
I'll change the user notes at some point to say as such. Grrrr ...
out of date already ;-)

At the moment, the SP3 file does not contain any information that
identifies that the data is associated with a particular P3. The P3
Name is not stored in the file, nor are the midi port numbers.
You can save data from your P3-a today, and next week you could send
it to P3-a or P3-b. I have left it entirely up to the user to manage
that. Just like a .SYX file, you could email me one of your .SP3
files and I could load it into P3Tools here and send it to my P3.
I have to admit, I had imagined that people with multiple P3's would
have them arranged so that they were connected to the PC on seperate
midi ports. I don't know why I did; I just did. I guess you have it
set up like that so P3-a clocks P3-b. As such, you are right that
only the P3 you want to address must be in SYS EX Receive Mode at
that time.
Therefore you have probably realised that for your set-up, you
actually only have to "define" one P3 in P3Tools with the one set of
PC midi ports.
BUT keep your two definitions for now. This has given me some ideas
which I will think about over the next week or so. I may end up
putting the P3 Name in the file after all so that I can .... Actually
I'll keep it to myself for the moment until I have thought it
through ;-)

I'm a keyboard man myself, so keyboard launched copy/paste/naming is
bound to happen soon !!!
