Request Apps

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

UltraVNC Viewer

Submitted by callit on February 14, 2006 - 2:59pm

I know, it's essentially portable as it is already. My only issue is that it seems to save settings to the registry - so when I sit down at a computer I've been at before, and pop open the viewer, it has my host name ready to go. And uhh, that kind of freaks me out.

I have no experience doing any of this, but would love to learn, and this seems like an easy enough place to start. If anyone can either create a wrapper or give me some pointers on what the easiest way to do this would be, feel free to let me know.

Thanks

Forte Agent : portable (and free) soft for mail/usenet news

i know that this is not freeware, but the application, stores it's settings in ini files and can the last version look pretty neat with multiple news servers support and (but I not checked it) multiple e-mail accounts too, there is possibility to use for free a less featured non registered version which is freeware

i think it should be on a list here

another great open source program: NeoMem

this outliner/note taking tool looks similar to KeyNote or TreePad, but is open source and still under development, not like KeyNote which have been abandoned.

the author has put a blog and forum where u can post suggestions about his program

website is: http://www.neomem.org

i asked him to make this program storing its settings in the *.ini file instead of registry, as stands for now in 1.1c and he promised to do it in the next version maybe within a week

Portable Perl

This would be useful fo all sorts of reasons.. many small and useful tasks could automated this way.

(There is a Windows port of Perl, but I am not aware if it can be run in a portable manner.. eg. in an arbitary part of the file tree.)
