Program: QTOctave
License: GPL
Description: Graphical interface for Octave mathematical processing language. It produces a similar working environment to MATLAB (R).
Website: https://forja.rediris.es/projects/csl-qtoctave/
Other: Requires Octave as well which is also GPL. I currently have it running on my flash drive and I do not think it accesses the registry but I am not sure of this.

You can check the registry by downloading REG Portable and just searching for "QTOctave", "Octave" or any other phrases that it might use.
I'd recommend RegShotPortable to check for registry changes. Tell it to do the first scan before installing/running QTOctave, and then do a 2nd scan after installing and running QTOctave.

I have downloaded a portable version of QTOctave which can supposedly be run from a portable drive.
http://qtoctave.wordpress.com/2007/10/31/qtoctave-portable/
Download from https://forja.rediris.es/frs/download.php/433/qtoctave0.6.8_octave2.9.15...
After running on Vista the following files are left behind or used during normal use for configuration or other functions by octave:
C:\Users\Sam\.octave_hist
C:\Users\Sam\.qtoctave\config.rc
The Windows registry is not modified in any way by QTOctave.
One could set up a configuration to copy the local configuration onto the flash drive.
For instance if .qtoctave doesn't exist it grabs the config file from ./qtoctave-bin/config.rc from the flash drive configuration where ./ is the directory where QTOctave is located in the file system.
Then once the user is done the paf can copy the configuration to the flash drive and remove the local files. Additionally it can copy the files from the flash drive and move it to the user configuration directory before launching. If it is not able to copy the files over then the configuration setup has failed and don't bother opening QTOctave.
I used regshot (http://sf.net/projects/regshot) to confirm all of the above.
I also would like to see this become a regularly distributed portableapp.
What's a signature?
Is there a way to change the font used at the command line?
