Description
Please separate Bitcoin ABC and Bitcoin Core (TCP ports and data config)
Currently both Bitcoin Cash (ABC) and Bitcoin Core are sharing the same data in Windows Registry, bitcoin.conf file and block data directory and TCP port.
Please lets try to separate those two coins cleanly with the next hard fork.
(i.e. listen to both old port 8333 and new TCP port ???? and after the fork, listen ONLY to the new port, since clients will need to be updated anyway)

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by locating the Windows Registry, bitcoin.conf, block data directory, and TCP port configuration used by Bitcoin ABC and Bitcoin Core. Map how the next hard fork affects these shared resources; done means the two coins have separate configuration and data locations, with the requested old and new port behavior defined.
