PAD - Provided by the Association of Software Professionals

PAD is the Portable Application Description, and it helps authors provide product descriptions and specifications to online sources in a standard way, using a standard data format that will allow webmasters and program librarians to automate program listings. PAD saves time for both shareware authors and webmasters.

PAD Overview -> Author Resources -> PADGen

The ASP now offers two programs you may download for creating and editing PAD files. PADGen is the original PAD editor and hews closely to the PAD standard. PAD Manager also supports PAD and adds advanced features which extend beyond the standard. Both programs are maintained by Mykola Rudenko on behalf of the ASP. Each is free of charge for personal and commercial use.
