Is there a portable app similar to Free Commander

Submitted by JamesSoCal on September 23, 2007 - 2:35am

Free Commander is a file handling utility similar to the old File Command of Win 3.1 but on steroids. It can be viewed at www.FreeCommander.com. There are more viewable features than Windows Explorer along with a greater overall versatility. It will install to a flash drive and appears to be fully functional even when running on other than the original host computer. If WinRar from RarLabs is running on the host computer both zipped & rared files can be viewed as though they are just another folder.

Portable Apps update cycle?

When using FF, TB & OO in a portable apps installation of about a week ago I notice all are the older versions even though FF 2x, TB 2x & OO 2x have been available for some time. Does the portable apps dev group update these apps with an update to portable apps or does the user have to do the update? My thought would be the dev group since they likely need to be tweaked to run inside PA but I am just wondering. The system works great as it is for my purposes & I thank the dev group for the time they have spent getting it to this point.
