The Portable Freeware Collection Forums

m^(2) I don't want to labour this small thread; I suspect that we'll continue to differ/agree on some aspects. Just proves though what an interesting Forum this is. I will pick up on one point. Whilst I'm no fan of these console apps (I had my fill of them in the early 80s), you make a very good poi...

Just wanted to ask a 'newbie' type question.

There are a few portable applications which are stated to be U3 applications.

Do these run ok on a standard (non-U3) flash-drive?
Is there any tweak I have to do?

Thanks in anticipation.

# m^(2) 1. You state Regular TRiD doesn't reqire .NET True but by implication you seem to be saying that all command-line utilities should be included in the Database because that is what TrID is! IMHO command-line utilities should continue to be excluded. 2. You ask Is it a problem to take VB runt...

I'm satisfied that such apps should not appear in the Database. But I hope that they are mentioned in ...

Now that doesn't matter to me - the comp...
