darkest: Abiword's image support isn't great. I recommend SoftMaker Office (http://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1463).

juvera: 2.9.1 is a development test, not a stable release. That's why PortableApps.com has the 2.8.x version listed as primary and then 2.9.x as a test for users to try out. PortableFreeware.com doesn't list development tests. |

I recently used this program to parse out an ICS file with a bunch of duplicates and data that wouldn't show up properly in other viewers. The export to HTML and CSV was enormously helpful. Even though it hasn't been updated in over a decade, it still works great. |

My task manager of choice for corralling processes and killing processes that need to go, but takes up a lot of processor power to run on my Win7x64 system. As a result, despite some of the cool monitoring tools included, I generally run it to do something and then immediately close. Also, as many have pointed out, this program really needs a manual.

Problems with this project. It do not run on Windows 8.1 and it seems the MSI of the last version is corrupted. Could the author make the software Windows 8-friendly?
