From: Paul Shayler <g6tsf@xxxxxxxxx> I was just wondering, would it be possible to produce a version of OPW that could be installed on and run from a USB Memory stick. This would be like the PortableApps versions of Firefox, Thunderbird, Filezilla etc. As I understand it nothing gets installed on the "host" computer.This would be a good idea. A few years back one of the memory stick makers set up a standard. I've no idea if the above use that standard or work some other way. It is not entirely trivial though because I do use the registry for saving some data.
The standard you refer to I think is what is known as "U3". I appreciate that it may be possible to produce a "portable" version, but may not be easy to sort out use of the registry.
