Request Apps

Is it possible to make a portable Zip utility such as “Portable 7-Zip”? I know that Windows XP can now open Zips, but what if you have a Rar, or some other file that Windows can’t open. What do you do then? Or how many of you have been working on someone else’s pc, that doesn’t have XP on it and needed to open a file only to fined they haven’t got WinZip either. I know I have. In those situations when you haven’t got the internet at your disposal to download WinZip, a program like that would be invaluable. Can anyone out there make one...?

I've read a few requests / comments in these forums regarding a lightweight and portable Linux distribution.

One such distribution, which is already packaged ready for a USB key, is Puppy Linux (http://www.puppylinux.org) with a footprint of approximately 60MB.

A video exists showing how to mount Puppy Linux on a USB key (http://rhinoweb.us/howtomountausbkey.htm).

Puppy Linux's mission statement says:

* Puppy will easily install to USB, Zip or hard drive media.
* Booting from CD, Puppy will load totally into RAM so that the CD drive is then free for other purposes.
* Booting from CD, Puppy can save everything back to the CD, no need for a hard drive.

Can anyone suggest a good open source e-mail client that I could install
as a portable application on my jump drive that would work with
Microsoft Exchange? I tried Thunderbird and it doesn't work well with
it. I can use Firefox with IE tabs to get to the web version of Outlook
but I would like to avoid that. Something that could import my
contacts, calendar, tasks would be great!

Hello, Group-

I just wanted to put in a formal request for a portable version of the Java Runtime Environment. I use Portable Firefox while at work, and am unable to access content that requires Java (OK, mostly games!)

The computers at work don't have the JRE installed, and no one has administrative privileges except the IT department (who has indicated they're not planning to install the JRE on any systems).

Anyone else want portable Java, or know of any existing portable versions?

if we used qemu for the mac and a small bartpe disk, could we be able to make portable apps for the mac? the smallest bartpe i ever saw was aroung 53mb. if qemu on the mac can automaticly make a connection to the internet like on the windows qemu then everything work work swell. do u think there would be any problems with this?

I've just found out this cool app. It's a PocketVideo encoder, it err...encodes video files to a format suitable to many PDAs or HandHelds. I just downloaded it and saw it was just an executable, didn't write anything to the app folder, don't know about registry, can someone check if it's truly portable?

It ain't opensource but it is free.
i also hadn't seen any app like this (i mean, it's focused on PPC video format converter)
ENJOY!!

Hello.
I would ask if its possible to create an portable CD Image mounter.
I use currently Deamon-Tools 3.47 (Windows 98 SE) to mount some ISO Files, but it would be nice if there where an portable Version of it or a simmilar tool.

Is this possible?
