Ahhh... I haven't done that in a long time, so I didn't quite get your
meaning. There are no path or registry settings. The whole thing free
stands, like TP did in the DOS days. The total setup, including IDE, is only
about 11mb. The subset of Delphi I use could easily be bundled onto a zip
cartridge, along with a copy of your project's source code and with a portable
Zip drive it would be easy to take on the road. (In fact, that's how I tested
it... )

And wouldn't you be the talk of the town? "High powered compiler on a
keychain"... I like that.

Remember though... this setup would never compile anything using vcl or forms.
