litecad without installation

[x11start]

on the website http://kolbasoft.com you can freely download a "standalone" cad that is without any installation necessary.
(for the truth there is also an installable version... but it is more "invasive").

the site is really "essential", but the cad in question can be really easy to use as it almost totally autocad.

the differences concern only small things: the function keys (f1 - f2 - f3 ...) with small variations.

in the current version it is possible to import and export dwg and dxf until the autocad version 2007. autocad quotas are used (which up to a few versions ago, were not handled correctly).
the only "pecca" (hiking that it is correct in the future), concerns the impossibility of "intercepting" the blocks with the osnap or using them to cut or extend lines: you need to explode the block for this operation!

personally this cad I recommend .... as a "viewer" to those who do not own a cad: a bit like sending a pdf and then recommend using acrobat reader to open it.

I see updates of links, but no comment on it.
being standalone, can I download it on a flash drive and work from there? read the latest versions of autocad?
any other experience about it?
Thank you.

I have perplexity to use software produced you do not understand from who, without any information, without a presentation.
I am paranoid but who tells me that it is not a joke of a child who enjoys frying computers?
It is clear that a nice presentation site with references and more is not a guarantee, but in short, the presentation also has its importance.

That's exactly what I'm asking for.
thanks gil for expressing them.

I am part of the "paranoic" users... in the sense that when I try a software (also "without installation") I try it virtual.

Of course I can't "put my hand on the fire" of things done by others, but until now I've never had problems with this mini cad...
... and I have always interpreted the absolute essentiality of the site, as an attempt by the programmer to look after the substance more than the form.
Google made his fortune thanks to an almost empty white page!

for some time it was not possible to download the software... but now I see that with a very simple page and 2 links (one for the 32-bit version one for the 64), you can go back to using it.

I haven't had a chance to try it yet, so I don't know if there are updates and/or the ability to open the latest dwg files in 2007.
