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

Adobe eBook Reader

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on January 18, 2006 - 3:13pm

Taking some online courses here and the school is using Adobe Acrobat eBook's instead of paper text books. The problem with (some of) these is that they are DRM'd files. Sitting behind a firewall at work, I'm unable to register my copy of Reader.

I'd like to see what the thought of creating a portable Acrobat eBook Reader would be. Any thoughts? The key here is being able to activate the DRM ACTIVATOR link from within the application.

Thanks,

This has gotta be the best image editor that I've come across, an amazingly good, powerful and easy to use piece of software. If I could take this everywhere I go along with my suite of existing portable apps I would be very happy indeed!

Miranda IM

It might be a good idea to distribute a portable version of Miranda IM (http://www.miranda-im.org) rather than (or in addition to) gaim.

It only requires a single line to be modified in 'mirandaboot.ini' in order to make it save its settings in the current folder rather than in Documents and settings.

My version is less than 5MB extracted (with a large amount of optional plugins) and the full installer on their site is less than 1MB. It does not require GTK. Its only disadvantage that I know of to Gaim is that it is availible for Windows only.

I have not copared it directly with Gaim
