PAD is a new submission standard for programmers to present their software information to software publishers and journalists. All freewarehits.de software - this program included - support this standard, but PAD is much more functional. The PADbased_UpdateChecker scrutinizes all PAD-based programs for the latest updates and can be compaired with harddisc versions (internet connection required). If an update exists it can be downloaded with one mouseclick only. The user may include any PAD-based program to the list or remove unwanted entries.
