Hi,

Besides listing Ultimate++ in download.com there are many other sites.

Perhaps this idea might be useful.

There are many shareware and freeware software directories that will list a software for free. To make the submission easy, a PAD file is required. It is a XML file that describes the software.

To create PAD xml files, you can use this free tool, PADGen.
http://www.padgen.org/

Also, here is a list of software directories that accept PAD files.

Best Regards,

Good info. Do you plan to get involved? Smile

Hi Mirek,

Yes, I can help to prepare the PAD xml file and also do all the submissions. The most effective way is to do submissions by hand so it will take some time to go through the list of PAD sites. However, once the PAD file is listed, most sites will auto-poll the xml file and update any changes in future.

Perhaps, when http://www.ultimatepp.org or other is set up I can help. The PAD file and U++ program will have to be hosted on U++ site. You will need a specific e-mail address for verification and contact purposes.

And, in most software directories, they allow only the software author, publisher or authorized agent to submit.

I'd be glad to help in any way I can. Smile

Best Regards,
Yeoh
