Simple portable startup

Submitted by pmoore on March 21, 2007 - 10:21am

I have a few apps which are basically portable (they run from a single directory, without saving anything to the registry or local disk). For example, ToME (roguelike game), 4NT (command processor, commercial, "inikey" version"), TCI (tabbed console interface, commercial, "inikey" version). They certainly don't make enough of a mess for me to be bothered working out how to write a full-scale "Portable" version.

Is the portable version of NSIS available? I can't seem to find it anywhere. The only link/reference I have found is to portasoft.org, which seems to no longer be in existence.

Thanks.
Brandon

Eudora Portable

I love the PortableApps idea ... and use it regularly. The ease of use with OpenOffice Suite and having Firefox available for it is great ... it would however be nice to also see Eudora available for it as well. I've tried Thunderbird a few times but just don't quite enjoy it much, maybe I'll eventually get used to it.
