PAD (Portable Application Description) files are the
brain child of the Association of Shareware
Professionals ("ASP"). They allow software developers
to submit program information to participating sites
without the need of filling in lengthy forms.

The finished PAD file is in a predetermined XML format
which can be easily read by those software sites. They
can then automatically poll your PAD to keep their
archives always up to date. This text was prepared
using PadEditor by BB then uploaded to this site. You
can be confident that this PAD enabled software site
is always up to date with the latest titles, since PAD
files can be polled on the day they are changed.

PadEditor by BB is a tiny application which produces
fully functional ver 2.0 PAD files. Unlike most other
PAD creation applications, it is written in Visual
Basic 6 with no bloated redundant code, to keep its
size small. The finished package is a tiny 107kb,
which also includes the installer, uninstaller and the
help files. To discover how Visual Basic programs can
be so small, download the full source code and see how
it works at
