Hello :-),

Short Description:

Program: StarDict 3.0.1 beta
License: Open Source/GPL
Description: Babylon-like Dictionary shell (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/StarDict).
Website: http://stardict.sourceforge.net/

Does anyone here use Snag It from Tech Smith? It's an app I absolutely cannot live without. It would be nice if there were a Portable Apps version of this software. I use PA on my work laptop, which I am not allowed to install anything on (strict company policy) and PA works great for me in this environment!

Thanks for listening!

This may sound like a silly suggestion, because just about every Windows PC has solitaire on it, but what about a portable solitaire game.

I am thinking about attempting make Big Solitaires 3D portable.

Name: Big Solitaires 3D (40+ Solitaire Games in 3D)
License: GPL
Website: http://sourceforge.net/projects/big3dsol
Registry: None that I can see.
Size: 4Mb
Dependencies: OpenGL, Win32 (MS Windows), GTK+, wxWidgets

I am pretty sure it either has an Open GL renderer or requires Open GL. Would that make it non portable?

You should add a portable wiki to your suite of applications.

For a list of already portable wikis:

the tidlyWiki site didn't work with firefox so I would guess the same for their product.
WikiPad also looks promising - Windows and Linux supported apparently is portable ready...

Is there a stand alone portable task list manager application out there?

Many are mentioned, such as GSoft's, yet I haven't found a stand alone task manager.

I was on sourceforge, and I came across an open source version of Yahtzee that looked interesting.

it's written in c++

From what I can see on their web site (and on sourceforge) , it looks like there was a portable edition made up for one of the older versions of Open Yahtzee, so it should be fairly portable as it is. But I think it would be nice to see a paf version of this too.

Does Winmail opener already qualify as a portable app? It can be found on this page:
http://www.eolsoft.com/download/

Winmail Opener is designed to open the notorious winmail.dat files from Outlook Express users, and it can save the text in rtf format. It also has a pane for attachments, if there were any in the message. The installer file is only 299KB.
