I agree that the thread is getting very long. I am working on a newer version of PAC for a few weeks now, which (a.o.) complies more with the "PortableApps.com Format Spec Outline (DRAFT 2)". If I finished that (It's done, when it's done) PAC itself (hopefully) will comply with the outline and I may decide that it's time to put it in "Beta Test".
Time will tell, and any suggestions are welcome...
