 DC>  From the link:

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

so it is nothing more than a renamed file_id.diz then?? why is this new and
or necessary since file_id.diz has been around since forever?
