Yes. That said, I highly recommend keeping the Armory database separate from the Core DB, otherwise you'll have problems. This link explains how to set up the paths, which you'll need for both the Armory DB and the Bcash chain.
copy 3 quotes by PeZ from Dec 20
"D:\Program Files (x86)\Armory\ArmoryQt.exe" --datadir="D:\ArmoryData" --satoshi-datadir="D:\BitcoinData"
I renamed the database folder in ArmoryData to database.old to save it.
Substitute Qt with DB if you are following the instructions.
You don't want Bitcoind running if you are following the first page instructions.>
If you want to run Bitcoin, do it with a shortcut e.g.
"D:\Program Files\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -datadir="D:\BitcoinData" -disablewallet
When synced, run Armory with the shortcut that I mention in the previous post.
Follow the directions on the first page.
Not sure if this is the easiest method, but it worked. I am using Windoze, but other OS's should have something similar.>
Yes, when you use Bitcoin ABC you would see the BCH contents, but my wallet was completely empty of BTC.?>

Then quote from JoJo69 from January 19
The ABC rollback to 0.16.1 did the trick!
I did have to rebuild the Armory DB.
I have added the lines to the bitcoin.conf file since, but that was not the issue in this case. So, to summarize for the benefit of others.
>move all BTC out of any wallets you wish to claim BCH from
>back up your BTC blockchain, ABC uses the same default install paths (borderline malicious behavior IMO but there it is.
>back up your Armory DB
>install Bitcoin ABC v0.16.1, NOT v0.16.2 ! Allow it to fully sync. Without an old pre-fork blockchain backup or some kind of pruned backup this will take a couple days at least.
>install Armory 0.96.3.922 RC3
>deal with your pathing to point your Armory bookmark to your new BCash blockchain
>Armory file settings uncheck "let Armory run Bitcoin Core/bitcoind in the background"
>close armory
>delete armory\databases
>verify Bitcoin ABC is running and fully synced
>launch Armory and let it build your new DB. This will take some hours, be patient. It may seem hung on 99% 2 seconds remaining or something like that for a loooong time, just let it run.
>when it is finally done it should show your expected BCH balances (you moved your BTC already right?) and report "connected" in purple in the lower right corner
>set Armory to "expert" mode user expert
>click "send bitcoins" and make up your transaction as usual remember to uncheck "enable RBF" in the lower right
>click through and SELECT THE BCH SIGNER AS DETAILED IN THE OP OF THIS THREAD!!!
>click to broadcast, that's it...worked for me
If I screwed any of this writeup let me know guys and I will edit
Thank you all so much for the help!!>
Then from January 21:
https://download.bitcoinabc.org/0.16.1/
will link in above post>

I recognize that much of my questions have been addressed in the prior discussions of this thread.
I have copied many of them above to hopefully have a relatively complete listing for my questions:
____
Thank you to all the developers for all your collective efforts over the past 6 months, and the continued development of this thread.
I continue wrapping my head through the various posts of this thread and continue to remain unclear.
One Win 10 x 64 desktop computer (with two hard drives) dedicated to Armory wallets
0.96.3992 with BC Core 0.15.1 all fully sync'd to the default locations on the C drive.
--- Based on the various questions and comments through this thread,
Is it necessary to install and sync an added 0.15.1 to the Data Drive?
or does one install and sync Bitcoin Unlimited or other database to the Data Drive?
Does it remain necessary to manually delete the database blocks
immediately below block 478559 from the newly installed database (on the 2nd Data Drive)?
Does one then redirect the Path of the existing 0.96.3992 (already on the C drive)
to address the the newly installed database on the data drive. Or, does one install
a new 0.96.3992 directly to the Data Drive (if so how does one distinguish between
each of their respective icons on the monitor screen)?

signers will always be an off line laptop.
Thank you all for the development of these work around procedures
and for your suggestions re my inquiries, as I desire to correctly and securely
effect this separation of BCH from the legacy BTC.
