Portable SciTE (Text Editor) Test Release

I've put together a test package of Portable SciTE. SciTE is a solid text editor that is actually quite portable by default. In the portable package I put together, I've compressed it with UPX, setup the standard App/Data directory structures so things are easier to backup and upgrade, and changed some configuration options that I think are appropriate for our use (toolbar/status bar visible, line numbers enabled, NSIS support enabled, status bar layout changed to include all necessary details). All the config changes were made in the SciTEUser.properties file, so you can easily revert to a base SciTE config by deleting that file... or drop in your own file from your local copy so your portable copy will work the same way.

ASuite 1.1

ASuite is a launcher with a menu trayicon. It is developed to be performed on any support (except CD), Hard Disk, pen Drive, IPod and other supports.

ASuite uses relative paths for software positioned in its same folder and subfolder, this allows to run software portable, that is those programs that need not to to be installed to work.

ASuite is a software perfectly working on portable support, Pen Drive, Ipod, ecc...
In fact it weights approximately 400KB and it uses file Asuite.xml for its list and its options, without to damage the guest computer.
This allows you to always carry with you your favorite software and your documents and to have, through ASuite, a comfortable menu.
