ADDING PROGRAMS TO THE RAPPS DATABASE

Each program entry consists of a text file formatted with an INI-like syntax.

They must be encoded in UTF-8 without BOM (Byte Order Mask) in this repository. However, when you are testing a new entry file with RAPPS in ReactOS or Windows, they are stored in UTF-16 LE (Little Endian) encoding in the rapps folder on disk - otherwise characters out of the ANSI range will display broken. Note: some editors like Notepad++ call this format UCS-2 Little Endian.

Each [Section] is language-independent and individual, you can override the URL to a source program or any other field by adding a language-specific [Section.], followed by the language code.

Note: You can find a complete listing of LCIDs and language names on MSDN, includes neutral codes:

RAPPS also accepts neutral language codes, meaning that you can do things like this:

 ; Default English fallback, used if everything else fails.
  [Section]
  Name = Name in English

  ; Neutral Spanish, used if the specific variant of Spanish does not match.
  [Section.0a]
  Name = Name in Generic Spanish

  ; Spanish from Spain, used if the system is configured for it.
  [Section.0c0a]
  Name = Name in Castilian Spanish

You can also define an entry without English fallback to make it visible to certain users only. For instance; software from 1C, which is mostly for Russian speakers and unusable for anyone else.
