I've just posted a test release of Pidgin Portable 2.1.0. Pidgin, formerly known as Gaim, is a multi-protocol instant messaging client that works with AOL, MSN, Yahoo, Google, ICQ, Jabber and other networks all within an easy to use interface. This new test release now fully supports using a CommonFiles\GTK folder (as GIMP does). It also has built-in support for Pidgin preferences paths so your buddy icons and other settings will work as you move PCs.

Here's another with a proper splash. It will also probably be the last pre-release before proper release. And now, for the feature presentation...

Pencil Portable is the popular Pencil graphics editor and 2D animator packaged in a portable format. It lets you create cartoon animation using both vector and bitmap formats. Plus, it leaves no personal information behind on the machine you run it on, so you can take your graphics editor wherever you go.

Here's basically the same one as PR2, but with a PA splash screen, thanks to John.
Please test it, as this will most likely be the last pre-release before I send it off to John. And now, for our feature presentation...

WinBoard Portable is the popular WinBoard chess game packaged in a portable format. WinBoard is a graphical frontend for the GNU Chess and XBoard chess engines and can load and save PGN formatted games. Plus, it leaves no personal information behind on the machine you run it on, so you can take your chess games wherever you go.

Final version released, topic closed

By request, here's a portable package of DOSBox... an x86 DOS emulator that's great for being able to play old DOS games that don't work on newer versions of Windows. In this package, DOSBox has been compressed to less than half its usual size (under 1.5MB) and configured to keep its settings in the Data directory (for handy backups with PortableApps.com Backup) and packaged in a PortableApps.com Installer for easy use with the Suite.

I've just posted a beta of PNotes Portable (as suggested by Have Some Patience). PNotes is a sticky note utility that allows you to post sticky notes on your screen. It has multiple display options as well as a handy feature to schedule notes to pop up. It's small (under 1MB) and works well on Windows 2000 and up. Please give it a try and post your feedback.

WinHosts is a simple GUI meant to make editing the Windows hosts file easier.

Usage Note: Pressing F2 will edit the IP address for the selected entry, and double-clicking on an entry will put that entry into the "Add" fields at the bottom.
