Yes. Forgiveness is an intellectual process whereby you accept the transgressors penance. Anger is an emotional process that you have no control over.

Sounds a little Machiavellian to me.
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
It is doable.
It is not a part of the philosophy I tend to practice.
I am more the kill them all and let God sort it out sort of person, meaning it all can be settled once things are over.
This sounds like you are just prolonging the inevitable.
I had a person burn something in a microwave of mine and pretend that cleaned it up. It was still charred inside. I for gave them for not telling me sooner so that I could do something about the mess. I am still angry that the microwave still smells of the fire and always will unless I replace it. Of course you never said I have to forgive for the same thing I am angry about. So yes it is possible.
There are a lot of things I can do at the same time like dancing while chewing bubblegum, but I would look awful silly blowing bubbles while I tangoed.

No. You shouldn't accept an apology unless you are really ready to forgive. And the person who wronged you should really and truly ask for your forgiveness. Maybe this person isn't ready to ask for forgiveness. There is a big difference between an apology and asking for forgiveness. Part of accepting an apology is letting go of that anger.

If I am still angry, then how can I say that I have really forgiven? There have been many things in my life that I have had to just let go of! The pain goes away eventually, but sometimes the scars remain--kind of pushed underground, and continue to effect the quality of your life. *sm*

anger means Activly showing disapproval of some thing or behaviour or event... of some one.. which is not pleasing to me... and it not necessarily a Hate...
Forgiving is for the Error committed which prompted the anger..
so it is possible that I can forgive and still be angry

No, you can say you have forgiven somebody while you are angry of him, so this means you have not forgiven him.
When you are still angry of somebody then it is not true forgiveness!
