Nicely done.

lol... That's awesome man. I'm gonna take it to work! :D

That's why I made it :p
I'll work on improving it a little more, like an auto updater and such.
Also I'll make it so you can use the editor of your choice, as long as it will run on a flash drive.
I know FBEdit and FBIde will both run off one. If I really get to tinkering I may make an installer but a zip file isn't that hard to install :p I'll prolly upx all the executables and dll's tomorrow to reduce the file size a bit.

Suggestions are more than welcome too.

You could contact http://portableapps.com and ask if they are interested?

BTW: Don't know how much more work is involved for you to get them interested though...

That's a good idea, i'm working on an autoupdater atm (and a systray menu) once that's done it'd probaly stand a better chance.

Ok, new release time. Not really that much has changed.
See the website for this project for details and downloads: http://hmcsoft.org/p/fbotg.php
If the site gives ya any problems let me know,
I'm moving all the ancient HTML to php to clean things up and add features.

Also, could a Moderator please move this thread to the Projects Forum?

Shouldn't ssleay32.dll in your package be renamed to libssl32.dll ?
The CHttp example (mentioned by Vic in another topic) only works when this file is renamed.

No, because it's required by wget which is what the update script uses to download the newest CVS version.
