Request Apps

Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

StrongDC++ or DC++

Submitted by getco on November 24, 2008 - 12:50pm

Hello,

I couldn't find a portable version of this (and it does provide an open source) so I thought maybe somebody here would take the challenge.

An alternative might be DC++ which is the original application. I use the StrongDC++ so I don't know much about the DC++, but I guess it'll be just fine as well.

Hello All,

I am looking for Portable Windows XP / simulation of Windows XP. I found it on forums but it requires Flash Drive. U need to copy it on flash drive and then you can boot your computer from flash drive. I am looking for copy of windows xp where I can copy it on Hard-drive. Even Simulation would work. I just require it so that my students can work on windows XP. I require it for Windows OS. Could u please help me with that.

Thanking you and waiting for your reply.

Regards,

Amit

Opera Portable

Hi, I prefer to use Opera as internet browser. I use Opera@USB by Markus Obermair (http://www.opera-usb.com) but I prefer it to be in the same folder and to use the same Portable Apps menu as other Portable Apps do (now it's impossible). I dislike Mozilla Firefox Portable because of its very slow work: it works like tortoise from my flash drive (without any extensions). Opera works much faster. Thanks.

BlueJ

"BlueJ is an Integrated Development Environment for the Java programming language, developed mainly for educational purposes, but also suitable for small-scale software development.

It is a windows-based platform for Java Development Kit or JDK. It can work for JDK 1.3 version and not for lower versions."

This would be great for all beginners in Java Programming since they can test the program they're making.
