FOR FOSS: Dune 2 The maker (current stable) is under 6mb, Zod engine is about 65mb, BosWar is about 74mb.... but at a compaired "vs" 105mb, NONE, imho, offer Starcraft Broodwar's level of "feel" & "accessibility". * love note to Dune 2 The maker (current stable). As...

Some of it is detailed in my link above but the program interfaces aren't great, software quality is low (even Softpedia talked about buggy software), and tendency to rename and fragment is frankly legendary. There are at least a dozen of what seems to be slight changes and renaming on the same rep...

Tried to clean that post up.... I'm testing Atlantis lite now, so far, Windows 98se (my copy is very updated) Works, up to win 10, following site's how too. setting changes reflected inside app folder/dir (I dont see other writes, other than standard page(swap)/logs) (Win98se test bed: Board: Biosta...

I have these files, which I have confirmed are " no longer for sale or are now opensource/public domain " Just because something isn't for sale doesn't mean it falls outside copyright. While there is such a thing as "abandonware," we try to go carefully in that area -- there are...

Hi, I'm Jeff, aka aazard! I play with compression, packaging and testing apps (I can code, but at a "hello world" or "i edited your code in 3 lines" type skill level). But I've been a system admin/component tech for 20+ years (i'm 40), and I've played with "foss" stuff ...

Very nice! its pretty well made & 869kb (pre-UPX packed too!), debugger shows some easy areas it can be "trimmed/optimized" (many redundant seeming "calls"...but I'm no coder) this is on my list now: its second only to AviScreen, which is 383kb UPX packed, * add, its companio...

Humm, do they have a lite/green version? its abit heavy for my drives... I used Nirsoft's "SearchMyFiles" https://www.portablefreeware.com/index.php?id=1485 and I either need something FAR smaller or more powerful, to justify its spot on my drive, this is SO nice, but over 15mb installed (...

Ive been testing "portable file managers", xplorer2 Lite is very nice, maybe equal to Q-Dir which is saying something in high praise..., its very well made. Not to derail topic, but there are 2 interesting "other options I have used & suggest" If "tiny, best tool byte4by...

I will attempt sanity...lol The cause of my "current excitement": and rant.... :( (i dont know how to spoil here, using "quote tool") I'm inside a 6 month kick to built a 100% freeware/FOSS portable "best app for job, byte4byte" kit. I'm 99% done, Martain Wright is just...

sorry, I have a formatting "issue" (misuse)

In my testing: plz forgive formatting, if it annoys ppl (I can edit it out) On the topic of "Freeoffice" < The current SoftmakerOffice "free forever" version. Portablized via app (when installed to a pc) menu tool, from a "full options install", then remove " langu...

I run into a similar issue, portable office that could do docx/xlsx , try gnumeric (or spread32 ) and atlantis lite word processor Atlantis is great but unfortunately isn't portable , but gnumeric and spread32 are. I'd also recommend against the SSuite (Van Loo) toolset. You're right that a lighter...

I have these files, which I have confirmed are " no longer for sale or are now opensource/public domain " 1: Diablo 1 (all music files are removed, they are copywritten, other assets are from freeablo replacement) < I made it pre-portable and emailed the diablo (and D2 btw) open source pr...

I run into a similar issue, portable office that could do docx/xlsx , try gnumeric (or spread32 ) and atlantis lite word processor. edit/create ebub/pdf too ^ thats about 12mb to 25mb With xlsx2xls & docx2doc (freeware about 1mb each) you can opt you "just" the "wordform" and...
