Portable R

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on April 21, 2006 - 3:08pm

Would really love to see if someone could come out with a portable version of R (see http://www.r-project.org). R is one of the nicer free scientific computing environments out there. Its fast enough and has sufficiently simple syntax to be used as a calculator as well.

BTW, love Portable Firefox.

requesting a Portable CD DVD Burner/ cloner / Backup / tool

Submitted by citybilly on April 21, 2006 - 12:33pm

hello portable app's guru's!
i have no idea if there is a tool out there that can do this but
How about CD/dvd burner/ cloner/ back up utility portable app ?
i have modified some older windows apps that use .ini files to run from a USB drive and they work ok - but some thing more modern and robust would be nice

All the obvious tasks would make a portable app very attractive like:
* Data CD/DVD – bootable disks Support for .bin .cue , .ISO ect ..
* Music CD - Burn from mp3 Play Lists ect..
* ISO CD/DVD
* Cd/DVD Cloner
* Backup. back up that USB drive! Smile
* Video Converters.

i have found this app really useful for downloading certain file types from websites as it doesnt take a load of right clicking to use it which is normally a slow process. it gives you a thumbnail view of images and view of the files then you just select the ones you want to download and it does the rest. it queues them up to be downloaded to a selected directory and you can limit the number of downloads allowed at one time as well as the searches and such. any possible way of making it portable.

Portable anti-spyware application?

Submitted by Bruce Pascoe on April 20, 2006 - 11:24pm

I did a search of the forums and didn't find anything directly pertaining to this, so I'm creating a new thread. Now that we have Portable ClamWin for anti-virus, what about an anti-spyware program? That would make my portable maintenance suite complete. I often have to scan my cousin's computer for viruses and spyware, and a portable anti-spyware program would make things so much easier.

Already Portable Editor: HAPEdit

The first portable app that I ever used is HAPEdit (HTML, ASP, PHP Editor). This is freeware written by someone in France, but it is not open source.

I have no affiliation to this product other than the fact that I use it. It supports more than just HTML, ASP, and PHP. It also support javascript files, css, more. This really is free, without adware, malware, nag screens, etc. I've used it for more than a year and it continues to be my default php site editor.

I was thinking that this is something that you may wish to add to the editor section of the site. You can find the application at:
