gsoftpad 1.5

Description
===========

PAD stands for Portable Application Description. PAD is an XML-based open
format to describe downloadable applications.It is our preferred method for
submitting our software to download sites. If you maintain a software
catalog, such as a download site, and want to include our software, please
use these PAD files. To keep the contents on your site current, poll these
files regularly. 

By using the PAD system, developers save time by having to create a
description of their software packages only once. This description can then
be uploaded quickly to all sites that support PAD. Webmasters can process
these PAD files and extract the data appropriate for their site. They can
keep the contents of their site current by polling PAD files on the web
sites of the authors of the software they list.
