What is Website Submission Shareware?

Website Submission Shareware is a tool for Shareware Developers who are interested in find more up-to-date shareware download sites and distributing their programs to many shareware download sites on the internet. Not only can this dramatically increase the exposure of their programs to potential downloaders, but also can improve search engine rankings due to the increased link popularity resulting from publication on many sites.

Website Submission Shareware automates much of this process, allowing the developer/publisher to distribute their software to more sites in less time, as well as keeping track of each program’s status on all such sites. Even so, as it is, most developers will find it will already increase their efficiency and productivity greatly in this otherwise tedious and cumbersome process. You may add your own sites to your own local copy of the Website Submission Shareware database. The Lite(evaluation) version is limited to the addition of 20 sites only.

Website Submission Shareware works with and requires a separate PAD file for each project. PAD (“Portable Application Description”) files can be generated using PADGen, a free tool available from the ASP (“Association of Shareware Professionals”) web site, See http://www.asp-shareware.org/pad for more details.

Features

  3. Track submission details such as date and version submitted
  4. Use easy copy-and-paste for quickly filling fields from PAD file
  5. Built-in web browser (see minimum requirements) designed for submitting and tracking project listings. Makes the whole process quick and painless!
  6. Uses powerful sqlite Local Server for great performance and reliability yet with a relatively small footprint.

Minimum Requirements

  2. Approx. 10 MB hard disk space
  3. Pentium II or better recommended
  4. Uses 10-20 MB RAM at runtime, depending on usage
  5. Internet Explorer 5.5+ must be installed on computer (does not need to be default browser). Some users have been able to successfully use IE 5.0 but unfortunately we cannot guarantee it will work properly, and this is the absolute minimum version that may be used.

Usage Instructions

This document is intended to give a brief overview of the process of getting started, while the accompanying help file’s Quick Start Guide goes into greater detail. We suggest you read this first and then follow step-by-step through the Quick Start Guide.

We strongly recommend that you have a live Internet connection present when starting the application. While this is not normally required, the application is only minimally useful without a connection.

Creating Your First Project

Well, it’s assumed you’ve already created your project, but Website Submission Shareware needs to know about it and create a record for it in the database. You need to already have a PAD file created using PADGen or an equivalent tool. As used in Website Submission Shareware the word "project" means your program or set of files you wish to distribute on the Internet.

Switch to “Softwares” tab Window and click the “Add Record” button on the toolbar, or select “Edit/Add Record” from the menu or by right-clicking on the grid that in “Softwares” table. In most cases you will have these 3 options available for selecting tasks throughout the application.
