Premise:
Posters frequently ask for a portable version of a certain software. Usually this is a common type of software that leaves settings or files in some part of the local PC if it is not modified.

John or one of the many frequent visitors to the forums might possibly see if that software can be modified and made portable or not.

Some guidelines:

Dear Forum --

Please forgive if I haven't found my "Solution" buried someplace in the Forum. I am (as most old folks) pressed for time.

It would be most expedient if someone would kindly direct me to:
