Hello,

I am the author of a freeware software product called ConTEXT. One of our forum members has been kind enough to create a portable version of our software using winPenPack.

I have copied the files to our servers and made it available to our visitors. I have included this message underneath the link: "The Portable Version is powerd by winPenPack". Is this suitable to cover the licence agreement?

Please see: -Link-

Many Thanks,
David Hadley

Welcome to winPenPack, beanie.

First of all I wish to thank you for using and redistributing the ConTEXT portable version based on winPenPack platform.

I have noticed that the splash screen has been disabled (you don't like it?

) and other small modifications have been made.

You are in agreement with the winPenPack License Agreement, but, since you ask us an opinion, we would prefer that the package (Portable_ConTEXT.zip) keep the original name "X-ConTEXT_0.98.5_rev2.zip", for greater clarity to the users, where "X-" identifies all portable softwares based on winPenPack platform (called X-Softwares), "X.XX.X" is the ConTEXT version and "revX" is the INI file revision used for the launcher.

Because the changes are very few (for example, in order to change the language to English you could simply use the X-ConTEXT.ini file included in "English_users" folder), can I ask you why you have not decided to use and redistribute directly the X-ConTEXT version that we have made?

Hello Danix,

The download file has been renamed to: 'X-ConTEXT_0.98.5_rev2.zip' as you have suggested.

I changed the default ini setting to English as most of the visitors to our site speak this language.

The splash screen was disabled so that ConTEXT loaded just as it does normally from a hard drive. If you want me to enable it again, I can.

This is the 1st time I have used a winPenPack setup before, im more than welcome to suggestions!!!

Hope that answers your questions.

Many Thanks,
David Hadley

This is great! I've been using Context for years, and while Notepad++ is a perfectly good editor, it's not the same. I'm glad to get back to Context. Thanks, David!
