I have some last bits of tidying up to do then I need to get it hosted, and I'll post here as to where you can find it. Thanks for stopping by, Jo Hi SwissMike,

Sounds interesting Hi there,

These types of users are predominantly using windows so it seemed sensible to start with a windows version. Thanks for stopping by! Jo Hi Pitix,

Have you looked into the possiblity of getting your portable GIS to work on OS X? There are Mac versions of all the apps you need, so it would seem possible in principle.
