Beta Testing

I added the Version column so we can more easily keep track of the version that is packaged. If you don't like this idea or have something else in mind, let me know.

Now for my two questions:

1. Is there a way we can force the rows to stay at single row height and just cause the columns to expand to the proper width? I ask this because it makes things look much cleaner when it all has a uniform look.

This thread has been discontinued do to its size. I've created a new one, here. Hope to see you there!
Hi Guys! Happy St. Patrick's day. As a great gift :), I'm giving out to development tests early! You should already know about about FakeNES. Now for PNotes.

Ryan was kind enough to let me have his wrapper from the 2x version of PNotes. I've updated it and put in the newest PNotes.

I have been assigned the task of maintaining and updating the Development Test page. When first assigned, the list was very sparse, maybe a total of 15 entries, and the Outdated section didn't even exist. Due to Simeon, Patrick, and myself scouring through the Beta Test forums, I updated the list to a nearly complete status. I realize there are still many apps missing, but we're much better off than before.

Hello everybody, this is Mclovin here. For anybody wanting Halo to work portably, today is your lucky day. The link below links you to Halo Portable. This lets you bring your own saved games, allowing you to switch screens, and all while the game takes advantage of the current computer's video card you are using. The link is below

(This has the source now as well.)

as i sometimes have difficulties installing PAF's on my windows200 system, I installed GIMP_Portable_Background_Window_Plugin_2.1.2.paf.exe on a friend's XP system. That seemed to work out ok. And I mean installation went fine.

when I got home and started up GIMP, it reported errors when it loaded that plugin. It continued loading the rest of GIMP and as far as i can tell it seems alright.

I've saved the Dr Watson error reports here:

I know SpeQ is freeware, but this installer automatically downloads the SpeQ files. :D. This'll be a big step in freeware apps. This is a new reason for zip files, also.
Anyways, SpeQ is a small, extensive mathematics program with a simple, intuitive interface. All calculations are entered in a sheet. In there you can freely add, edit and execute all calculations. You can define variables and functions, and plot graphs of your functions. You can save your calculations for later re-use.
Category should be Math.

Ok, so apparently somewhere along development I accidentally screwed something up in the Task Coach Portable source. At one point Task Coach Portable was replacing the drive letter fine, but somehow I changed it so it skips the replacing if the TaskCoach.ini already exists.

So, please test this out. Save your .tsk file on your portable drive, anywhere you like. Close down Task Coach Portable, change drive letters, open Task Coach Portable again and check if your tasks automatically open.

If they do, and if they don't PLEASE let me know.
