Hello,
I am impressed with the small file size of Atlantis Nova and wonder how Ocean Mind compares? Also, because of this small size, I would like to know if it can run from a flash drive on multiple computers? What registry settings, if any, does it require?
I have a profession, and am also a student. I use my laptop for work, but campus computers for classes, so it would be very convenient to just install Atlantis on my USB flash drive and run it from there.
Thank you.

Running on multiple computers from Flash drive
If you would like to use a commerical version of our word processor Atlantis Ocean Mind (by the way, with the next release it will be known simply as "Atlantis Word Processor") on multiple computers without installing it on those computers, you could "install" Atlantis on a memory flash drive. After this you could launch Atlantis with your favorite settings from any computer matching the Atlantis system requirements (of course, if a memory flash drive can be connected to this computer).
To install Atlantis on a memory flash drive:
1. Launch Atlantis (if Atlantis is not running yet) on your computer as usual, and choose the "Tools | Options..." command.
Click the "Save Settings to File..." button, and save the settings to the home folder of Atlantis on your hard drive (the settings file name should be "Atlantis.ini").
2. Copy the home folder of Atlantis (by default, "C:\Program Files\Atlantis") to your memory flash drive.
After this, Atlantis is ready to be used from this memory flash drive. Just connect this memory flash drive to a computer, locate your memory flash drive as a new logical drive in Windows Explorer, and double-click the Atlantis.exe file that can be found on this new drive.
Atlantis would use the settings stored on a memory flash drive. If you adjust these settings while using Atlantis from a memory flash drive, Atlantis would save the adjusted settings back to the memory flash drive.
Note when launched from a memory flash drive, Atlantis never writes its current settings to the Windows Registry.
Atlantis Nova cannot be used in this way.
