Hi All,

I am an avid listener of the Podcast Security Now! with Steve Gibson and Leo Laporte. In episode SN-130 at 01:01:53 (about two thirds through at www.twit.tv/sn ), Steve suggests using AxCrypt, however, that must be installed in windows.

But in the same discussion, Steve also suggests Omziff as a freestanding executeable standalone encryption application. It can be run from any thumbdrive and is currently hosted at www.xtort.net/xtort-software .

The neat thing about AxCrypt is its ability to create a self-extracting encrypted file!

I dont want to request a prog but share a link i just found

Its a really nice collection of just a few, selected and good OS progs. Some of them are portable already, some are not. Perhaps its interesting for portableapps.com to port some of these....

Hi. I'd like to put forward my accounts software: Adminsoft Accounts

This is fully portable in that it will run off ZIP disk, USB stick, etc. It does not mess around with the registry, or require any DLL's to be installed in the Windows folder. There is one exception though, if you want to email directly from the accounts software, it does require DLL's installed (which it will do automatically, after asking the user if this is what they want to do).

I was wondering if anyone knows of a portable version of visual python. I have tried portable python but that only gives a cmd line version. The visual download doesn't seem to work when installed on the memory stick either.

Program: Frostwire

License: Open Source/GNU GPL

Description: P2P downloads from Gnutella and Torrent support.

Website: http://www.frostwire.com/

Frostwire is an open source fork of limewire, the more popular P2P client. Frostwire was originally created to preserve certain aspects of limewire which may be removed due to content filtering, and has grown to support some of the features one must pay for in limwire pro. This would be a great App to be made portable, and there are no liscencing issues. I'm not sure how far this program diggs into a computer though.

Ok heres what I am currently using for a portable torrent system:

I have the downloads and torrents default to "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents" folder so the main IO is on C:\ and not the flash drive. This works well for now, but how hard would it be to make this an official PortableApps version of µTorrent? Are there any licensing issues? could there be any performance increases with a customized PortableApps version?

♣PortableApps is awesome!♣
Is there a portable/small CD/DVD authoring program that is capable of burning .ISO's like nero or poweriso? I would love to be able to download and burn a disk image, without installing any extra software to the host if possible.

Do any of the PortableApps play midi files? It doesn't look like Audacity or VLC do.
