What is PAD file? "Submit your software with PAD file to Download.com"

"Submit your software to Download websites with PAD file"

Well, PAD (Portable Application Description) was the new word for me. When I have do some researched on it i have found that it is really very interesting thing for software developing companies or distributors. It is a simple XML file which contains descriptions about product (software). These descriptions are specified by software developer or software distributors. In general we can say descriptions are specified by software company or company owners or author like

  • Software Name
  • Company name
  • Price
  • type of software (free ware or shareware)
  • Minimum System requirement
  • Small description about software
  • Download size
  • contact and website addresses
  • Screen shots, logos and icon and so on.Know More
Actullly PAD maintain the standard in which it allows the software development companies to submit their software to software distribution companies in standard format. Due to this PAD saves time for both software development companies and software distribution companies and websites like
1. download.com (It is a Software Distribution Website)
2. Chambal.net (it is a software development company)

You can see the partial part of the PAD file. How the pad file looks like.

Leap Year Calculator

We know any year that is evenly divisible by 4 is a leap year : for example, 1988, 1992, and 1996 are leap years.  However, there is still a small error that must be accounted for. To eliminate this error, the Gregorian calendar stipulates that a year that is evenly divisible by 100 (for example, 1900) is a leap year only if it is also evenly divisible by 400.  For this reason, the following years are not leap years: 1700, 1800, 1900, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2500, 2600 This is because they are evenly divisible by 100 but not by 400.  The following years are leap years: 1600, 2000, 2400 This is because they are evenly divisible by both 100 and 400.  How to determine whether a year is a leap year To determine whether a year is a leap year, follow these steps: If the year is evenly divisible by 4, go to step 2. Otherwise, go to step 5. If the year is evenly divisible by 100, go to step 3. Otherwise, go to step 4. If the year is evenly divisible by 400, go to step 4. Ot
