Beta Testing

I've just posted a pre-release of the upcoming 0.7.3 release of Miranda IM Portable. I'm going the pre-release route as this new release will combine the ANSI and Unicode versions of Miranda IM into a single portable app. The launcher will automatically launch the unicode version on Windows 2000 and up and the ANSI version when running on Windows 95/98/Me.

Base App: NSIS

Category: Development

About:

It it highly recommended to download another application from this site and use those scripts as samples for creating your own portable apps.

I was looking for a gui for UPX on SourceForge and found UPXcmd. It had been been set up a as .paf.exe back in September, so I decided to try it out.

Turns out it wasn't really PAF compliant as we are using today, so I set about redoing it to make it so.

From the author's readme:
UPXcmd is an open source GUI (Graphical User Interface) for excellent
executable packer, UPX (Ultimate Packer for eXecutables, upx.sf.net).

UPXcmd package contains a new program, UPXcmd DropBox. Dropbox allows
you to compress your files by dragging them to an always on top window.

World Of Padman Portable:
In this funny first person shooter very small people doing battle. The levels are made op of rooms where you jump on bookshelves, stacks of books, tables, chairs etc. and collect ammo and weapons for your funny weapons, among Baloony (a water balloon shooter) and killer ducks. Very funny and cool looking levels to play.
