I tried it Sandboxed, and it worked ok, as far as I tested it. I did NOT print anything. I copied the 2 DLLs (oc30.dll and MFCANS32.DLL) to the StartUpMenu.exe directory. If you try to run it at various resolutions (other than required 800x600) it functions fine, but WordGraph, the word processor, h...

Rejected Portable Apps be documented to prevent their re-submission


Most definitely!

Thanks!
Was afraid that point was being overlooked

I'm OK, with Andrew's proposed standard of: 1 predictable, dismissible, start or end "nag" that's documented (seems like the part of my proposed standard that got broad consensus) ("nag-shot" optional - as text descriptions of most nags can suffice) As before, I suggest: Rejected...

Andrew Lee wrote: The "accept-if-no-alteratives-available, do-not-accept-if-alternatives-available" suggestion has an inherent problem. If we later discover a nag-free alternative, do we then remove the previous entry? Entry's "nags" & features should be documented (If it's ...

Fluffy: Thanks for supporting consistant standards Fluffy's suggestion sounds like proposed standard. Principal of proposed standard can be simplified to: Start/End "nag" is NOT really nag-ware. It's like splash screen. For otherwise unavailable functions, small annoyance is justified. (if...
