Writing the directory /.gnumed to the stick would be awesome :) it would make everything easier :)
By the way I have succesfully backed up my "production" DB so will try to port it to the stick as soon I get my hands on a Windows machine again (think tomorrow)
Hey Sebastian ... I know this is the first run for the Portable GNUmed, so don´t sweat :)
BTW ... I got to write a Python program that counts to 10 and one that you have to guess the number "25" ... next I will be fixing bugs ... u just wait :))))))))))

Yeah. But GNUmed can be told to write to a certain location. It could even
test for the platform and handle things differently if on win32. I believe
the only issue here is to tell gnumed not to make a directory .gnumed
in /home/user or Windows equivalent but under a specified path. Which should
be possible if we require that path to be within the gnumed subdirectory
under windows or any path that is writeable by any windows user.
