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

7-Zip 4.51

I know that John - usually - does no beta versions.

BUT this one may be worth an exception since

a) 7-Zip v.4.42 is quite old meanwhile and
b) the actual 4.51 beta is not a "real" beta but an advanced version close to final (it runs veeery stable like all its predecessors and does - besides some new functions - contain lots of bugfixes over v.4.42)

Maybe worth the hassle of some pre-release Beta testing since it should be easy to update...

DOSBox

I was looking through the portable freeware website, and I saw this open source project that might make an interesting addition to the operating systems list.

It's a DOS emulator. Based on the discription, it not only creates a dos session, but emulates an older PC. I guess the idea is to allow older dos programs to run in an environment that they're origionally designed for.

PNotes - Desktop Note Program.

Moved to a pre-release topic here:
https://portableapps.com/node/8335

Just found this one, I think it would classify to me as the best open source desktop note taking program out there. Apparently all of its settings are self contained, and I can verify nothing in the registry. I think if it were put in the PortableApps Format, and a launcher was created, a lot of people would benefit from it if PortableApps.com hosted it.

Here's the link.
