Help please: how do I make two cats coexist? (LONG)

For the record......I adopted a 2nd cat 6-7 weeks ago...tried feliway. It was
useless. Resident (neutered) 4 y.o. male cat's focus is to drive new (spayed) 6
y.o. female cat around the room/behind the bookcase. They co-existed separately
most of the time w/supervised visits no longer than 90 minutes (if resident cat
falls asleep). Resident cat did this with our other cat (who passed away) but
she moved 2x/day and nutured him from birth. The new cat is a whole different
case. I've tried encouragement, spray bottles, caging (new cat), but nothing
will stop resident from chasing/pouncing on new cat. I haven't slept more than
2 hours at a time is 6-7 weeks. Resident cat rattles doorknob and cries. I
actually believe I'm insane now. I tried to ignore the cries/rattling for 3
hours and finally lost my sanity.

Other than that....I believe the resident cat times his pooping to when I
actually doze off.

Angel: Vampire. You're not in 'Cats.'

Thanks...just when I think I can't take anymore and want to blow my head off..I
look into my baby's eyes and it is OK again.
