One interesting possibility would be to add PAD file generation to the
standalone builder. It could generate the correct format for he platform
it's building for. Perhaps it's worth atting to bugzilla as an
enhancement??
I'd vote for it, once the PAD standard is enhanced to accomodate the same range of platforms.

So you are suggesting that some of us should get involved with the PAD project and submit enhancements to accomodate Macs and multiplatform deployment, right?
I've been poking around the news group and I can't see such a discussion occuring. What's the subject of the thread?
Cheers

Richard,
I downloaded MacPADEdit 1.0 from the web, and it had checkboxes for all sorts of release platforms -- Windows, Linux, BSD, Mac OS, Mac OS X, etc. -- and I was able to generate a PAD file that showed my product as being released on Windows XP/2000 and Mac OS X.
What issue are you having with the PAD format?
The question is what issues do the MacPAD folks have with PAD. My only question is about the unnecessary duplication of effort and potential marginalization of the Mac by encouraging use of a new format over the long standing and widely-used PAD format.
Ricard Batista, creator of the MacPAD format, is a very smart fella, so I'm sure he can articulate what he feels are weaknesses in the existing PAD standard. I've encouraged him to participate in the discussion at the PAD newsgroup, and look forward to seeing his posts there.
