Submit PAD Files
We accept submissions using the PAD XML format, designed by the
Association of Shareware
Professionals (ASP). To learn more about the PAD standard and how you can create
your own PAD file, see the ASP
web site. If you have not submitted content to us using PAD before, then please
see the PAD general
information and usage guidelines. If you want to validate a PAD file before adding it
you can do so here.
When you submit a PAD file we will:
- Download your PAD XML file and add it to our system.
- Create an account for you which will allow you view and update your submissions,
provided that you have not already got one.
- Send you an email with your account and login details (if you are a new user).
- If the file is accepted, add it to our listings.
- Poll your PAD XML file regularly for updates, and reflect them in our listings.
Before you submit, make sure the PAD file is valid by visiting the
PAD Online Validator.
Location of PAD files:
(One URL per line, max 50 at the same time)
- We accept http:// URLs only, NOT ftp://
- Please enter the entire URL (including http://).
- Please double check to make sure it is correct.
- Please note that we only accept listings that are development related.
Automatic Submission
You can programmatically submit your PAD URLs to Programmer's Heaven!
Simply put the URL to the PAD file in the query string, as shown below. The page will
return "Success" in the page body if the PAD file was accepted.
