Is there a Portable HAL?
« on: April 13, 2005, 07:14:58 pm »
Is there a version or a plugin to make HAL portable?
I would like to install HAL on my thumb drive and use him off of it. Is it possible to do this?

Thanks,
Marc

How large is your thumb drive? The main Hal program alone weighs in at over 2.5 megs not to mention the support files generated by the brain program.

Not impossible but mostly improbable at this time I would think.

Some of Hals files are in the Haptec directory.

How do I point HAL to these files?
Also do you thinkg HAL would work on a 600mhz Dell PDA with the voice recognition?


thanks

I have no idea if it will work on such a PDA, because I have never had one.

When you install Hal it puts a couple of ".dll"-files in your windowssystem32-folder. I believe those are:

HalsMind.dll
HalWN.dll
(but NOT Hal.dll which is from Microsoft [:D])

If you drop those ".dll"-files" in the main folder of Hal, the program may find them anyway.
On the other hand, Hal MUST find a "Halasst.ini" in your windows-folder or it will refuse to work. I have no idea how to change that. I am afraid that path is hard-coded into the Hal-program.

Hal writes some registry-entries under "Zabaware", but I believe the program can manage without that information.
