Request Apps

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

AutoHotkey

Hello.

I'd like to make this the official thread of requesting this application for the PortableApps format.

http://www.autohotkey.com/

It can be downloaded in a ZIP file and ran from there.

The program is open-source and is free to use for any purpose (personal or commercial).

Also, I did a search and there was no thread directly requesting this application.

Thank you.

How to ...?

is there any possible way that i can take a copy of already installed programs on my computer and run it on any other computer without having to run the setup file..

cause what happened is that i had a source setup file for a program for work and then i formatted my hard drive without backing up my files and i have the setup files saved on another computer so what i need to know if it's possible to take these installed files from my program files folder and paste it on another computer.....???

thanks all in advance for your help

Hello,

first of all I have to say that PortableApps.com is one of the greatest projects in the internet. Smile

I have some suggestions for programs which could be offered here. All of them are portable, i. e. you don't need to install it. I know, some of them might be suggested by others, nontheless I list them here up.

Tiny C Compiler:
It's a very small C-Compiler (not C++ !) under GNU LGPL.
