[dba-Tech] Portable Apps

[Bryan Carbonnell]

By poratble-iz Arthur means make it run as a portable app.

Basically you "install" the software on a USB key and all the settings
and files are on the key. Nothing gets installed on the PC it's
connected to. So you can run the software on any Windows machine that
ca read the USB key without having to install anything on the
computer.

I have not checked to see what environments this product supports. *nx for sure OSx and Windows? (...but with the Bash-shell access, that is not an issue.) Its main recommendation is that it is super small footprint, very fast and very easy to use.
