PADMan (freeware) gives access to an extensive free- and shareware library that includes descriptions, program information, screenshots and naturally a download option. PADMan offers actual data from the internet resulting in the latest program versions and a permanently growing library. The layout can be filtered, formatted, printed and reworked with MS-Word. An included offline reader saves cost and offers the user the possibility to publish his own library (English / German).
PAD is a new submission standard for programmers to present their software information to software publishers and journalists. but PAD is much more functional. The PADbased_UpdateChecker scrutinizes all PAD-based programs for the latest updates and can be compaired with harddisc versions. If an update exists it can be downloaded with one mouseclick only. The user may include any PAD-based program to the list or remove unwanted entries.
