Beta Testing

I've put together a functional test of some code I'm working on to automatically download and install the flash plugin for Firefox Portable. It's simple yet seems to work quite well even with many proxies as long as they are properly defined in IE/Windows and doesn't leave anything behind.

In the last hours I created a portable version of the new OpenOffice.org 3.0 m5. It's currently only an english version (en-US). I want to provide it for testing.
The not portable version is scheduled to become the rc1 (not yet save).
I'm searching for a way to upload the portable version to the Sourceforge mirror network.

THIS TEST IS COMPLETE. THE CHANGES ARE IN 3.1:

I've posted a preview release of some possible improvements that are being worked on for Firefox 3.1 that should help with speed on flash drives. The specifics are being discussed here:

Hi!
If somebody will decide that this topic belongs to self-promotional group - well, just drop it.
What is ATPad? A few years ago I wrote application named Tabbed Notepad, as a simple replacement for Notepad, but with tabbed environment. It was my "assembler age", so I wrote it in assembler, put elsewhere and forgot about it. There were many defects and bugs I could not (or was lazy to) fix then.
