Submitter will submit your PAD *.xml program descriptor file (PAD 3.11 or PAD 4.0 format) to 66 PADsites. Unlike other submission programs, this program submits only to PADSites that welcome automated submissions and put up no impediments of any kind to automated submission. Compose your PAD *.xml file using a program like PADGen, then upload it you your website. Then enter the URL of your website directory where you upload pads and the name of the pad itself e.g. hypotheticalprogram.xml, then hit SUBMIT. It also has a batch mode to submit a list of PADs to a list of PAD submission sites. The advantages of Mini Pad Submitter over other similar programs are: - The program is free. - You are not required to install any software on your machine, (though you can optionally). - CMP checks all the submission websites twice daily to make sure they are still operational and removes any deadwood from the list. - No hassle setting accounts or passwords or key any hard-to-read captcha security codes. - All is completely automatic. All you need to supply is the PAD url. - The program avoids submitting to sites that have onerous restrictions such as demanding a back link. - The program is open source (full Java source code provided for you to study or modify). - The list of sites has been gradually shrinking as submission sites go out of business. At one point there were over 200 hassle-free sites. Other lists of submission sites are mostly dead wood. I prune out deadwood daily. numbered site names in case-sensitive alpha order >>>> 1. 2Software 2. AbabaSoft 3. ABCDatos 4. ABDownloads 5. AllSoftWares 6. AppDown 7. AskedFiles 8. BigDreamSoft 9.

ZDown See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/pad.html for hints on creating your PAD file. You can run it as a signed Applet or as standalone application: java com.mindprod.submitter.Submitter To use Submitter, all you have to do is run it as a Applet or an application and type in the URL of your PAD, e.g. http://mindprod.com/pad/password.xml for a PAD 3.11 format or e.g. http://repository.appvisor.com/info/app-550076260eb0/Password_Generator_pad.xml for a PAD 4.0 format. The Applet must be signed to allow it to talk to a variety of websites and to use the registry to persist just which pads it has already submitted. If you turn on the Java console, you can view the log of how the various websites responded. Normally you just get to see them for a few seconds. If you want to study the responses more carefully, the responses from the websites are captured in files in the current directory of the form xxxx_yyyy.log.html where xxxx is the name of the pad and yyyy in the name of the submission site. You can look at them with a browser or a text editor. SUBMITBATCH ----------- There is also a batch version of the program. To use it, you prepare a list of complete URLs of your pad files. For PAD 3.11 the URL will be on your website. For PAD 4.0 the URL will be on the appvisor.com website. like this: http://mysite.com/pad/fantastic.xml http://mysite.com/pad/great.xml http://mysite.com/pad/astounding.xml http://repository.appvisor.com/info/app-550076260eb0/Password_Generator_pad.xml ;http://ignorethissite.com/alreadydone.xml Lead semicolon means ignore, treat as comment. Don't put any blank lines in the file or at the end! and put the list in a text file somewhere, called for example E:\env\pads.list You must have previously uploaded all these pads and the corresponding programs to your website or published them at Appvisor.com Then you can can submit that entire list of pads to every website with one command: java.exe -jar submitbatch.jar E:\env\pads.list You might want to use TakeCommand scrolling, > output.txt or a tee utility to capture the voluminous console output to a file. Unlike the Applet version, the batch version will not stop you from frequently resubmitting PADs. Don't abuse that freedom, or the PAD websites may block you. prepare a list of complete URLs of your pad files. For PAD 3.11 the URL will be on your website. For PAD 4.0 the URL will be on the appvisor.com website. like this: http://mysite.com/pad/fantastic.xml http://mysite.com/pad/great.xml http://mysite.com/pad/astounding.xml http://repository.appvisor.com/info/app-550076260eb0/Password_Generator_pad.xml ;http://ignorethissite.com/alreadydone.xml Lead semicolon means ignore, treat as comment.

Unlike the Applet version, the batch version will not stop you from frequently resubmitting PADs. Don't abuse that freedom, or the PAD websites may block you. You can also limit which sites you submit the list to by supplying a second parameter, e.g. java.exe -jar submitbatch.jar E:\env\pads.list E:\env\somesites.list Where somesites.list looks like this: DownloadoManiac ZDown Submit batch logs site responses the same way Submitter does. Using the site names spelled precisely as is the list above. LOGGING ------- If you run Submitter in a browser, you can turn on logging (a record of how each site responded to each PAD submission) by providing a directory to dump the log files to with a logDir parameter. e.g. If you leave off the parameter, logging is suppressed. If you run Submitter from the command line, you can turn on logging by providing a directory to dump the log files to on the command line. e.g. java.exe -jar submitter.jar C:\temp If you leave off the parameter, logging is suppressed. With SubmitBatch, logging is always turned on, and the logs are always placed in the current directory. ICON ---- Why the megaphone icon? It represents spreading the word about the programs you have written.
