I have some questions on the recompiled version of QEMU.

Did you use the official QEMU sources of the latest build (0.9.1), or did you use the outdated QEMU on Windows that hasn't been updated since early 2007?

Will you submit your changes to the official QEMU development or to QEMU on Windows?

Will your recompiled version be available as its own package somewhere?

How uninstall an application in Portable APPS ?...

Submitted by Lugdunum on April 9, 2008 - 6:07am

Hello,
I am new in this site and this forum. I must specify that I am
enough beginner as regards data processing and that my English is very
limited what does not facilitate the comprehension of the FAQ. to me I
hope that you could be tolerant with me. Initially I would like only
to know how uninstall an application in Portable APPS?... Is it
simply necessary to select all the files of the application and to
remove them? Or well Portable APPS has in its menu a means to remove

free burn software?

Submitted by jps on April 8, 2008 - 4:43pm

I need a burn software. Must have the following features
- freeware or Open Source
- Just Works™ or portable (storing settings in application folder at least)
- CD / DVD | + and - RW quick delete and full delete
- burn iso
- burn bootable media
- alternative for Nero InCD (UDF / package writing) - writing on CD / DVD by just copying/deleting with the windows explorer
- strict UDF standard so it`s compatible with linux udf also

That`s all so far I need. Can be also more then one application.

this is mostly for the devtest template

where it says

<a href="www.somesite.com/downloads.exe">Download</a>

can we change it to

<a href="www.somesite.com/downloads.exe" target="_blank">Download</a>

that way the download page pops up in a new window/tab.
(sorry for the dot, but i could not get the html to pop up without it

Just a quick thought, assuming it is staying, it might be nice to set someone up with the Application Compatibility Page as it is shockingly out of date Smile I would be quite happy to help out with WINE testing in the next couple of weeks, in fact I just went through a few of the pre-releases, and this is what I found:

  1. BonkEnc - Seems to run well
  2. Task Coach - Crashes at start and writes a log file, definitely doesn't seem to be compatible, although I might hack around as it complains it is missing a dll.

how to load ansi.sys?

Submitted by ottosykora on April 7, 2008 - 3:16am

I would like to run portable an application, somehow old thing, dos, but this needs the ansi.sys legacy driver to be loaded.

OK, under dos/w98 it is done in config.sys, I tried to do it under w2k to put it into the config.nt, but nothing works.

Can such ansi.sys driver be loaded from portable device so I could run this utility form other machines ?
