On EconWPA, we had pdfs of codes, and even a paper on the software industry. One may want to include software descriptions, but this is a policy decision.
Sometimes an author of software does not want to have an archive contain the program IF it is to be updated. Such was the case with Tony Hagan with First Bayes (he originally submitted the program and then asked for it to be removed anbd only to reference his pages).
It would be a loss to restrict the software to submittable programs - but that is your choice. Kit certainly has a software archive that does most of the job that MPRA would do for software. Bob
Maybe:
6. Software should be runnable. If instructions or descriptions are included, everything should be bundled in a single zip file.
Would this be o.k.? Maybe instructions and descriptions are usefully included.
