[access-uk] Running applications froma flash or external drive

Hi
Apologies for posting to a few lists but think this might be useful to the 
blind community.
After reading the following from the Download list I'm wondering if this 
program is accessible and if its results are also accessible?

      If you haven't heard about portable applications, yet...where've you 
been? Portable apps are conversions of popular software programs that can be 
run from a Flash drive or other storage or media devices.

      Portable software has received its biggest boost from John T. Haller and 
his PortableApps.com site, which includes several ports of popular programs, 
including Firefox Portable and VLC Media Player Portable. He also offers two 
powerful free suites--one standard version (that includes OpenOffice.org 
Portable) and a light version (that swaps in AbiWord Portable).

      This week, Seth Rosenblatt took at good look at AppCompactor, the 
software that Mr. Haller has used to develop some of his programs. Using 7-Zip 
and UPX technology, AppCompactor compresses files necessary for running 
applications into packages that can remain archived even while the program is 
running.

      AppCompactor can save up to 50 percent of disk space for many software 
programs--and even cooler, it can help you make your very own portable 
applications. Get the full scoop in the Download.com blog.
