               make sure that the shareware principle works for you.
               If you are unable to resolve a shareware-related problem

                                      Chapter 1                            
                              How to read this catalog

          ASP members have supplied product descriptions for each shareware
          application they offer.  The catalog groups them by subject
          matter and lists them alphabetically.  If you want to know the
          name/address/phone for the author of a particular program, turn
          to the index and look for the program by name.  You'll usually
          see two page references: one describes the page where you read
          about the program, the other mentions the page where you can find
          information about the author (in Appendix A).  Just turn to the
          appropriate page and scan for the name of the program.

          The Association of Shareware Professionals does NOT rate members'
          software for functionality or usefulness, nor can it attest to
          the validity of any product description in this catalog.  That is
          for you - the user - to decide.  Shareware, especially those
          products authorized to carry the ASP logo, can be tested on a
          "try before you buy" basis.  If the software doesn't meet your
          needs, you won't have to worry about getting a refund.  (That's
          the beauty of the shareware marketing concept.)


          1.1  Minimum requirements

          Every program description lists its computer and operating system
          requirements (e.g. "IBM PC, DOS 2.0 or better").  Unless noted
          otherwise, each program assumes you have a standard keyboard,
          monitor, printer, and either two floppy drives or a hard disk.
          And unless noted otherwise, programs written for the IBM PC
          assume you have at least 512k of total installed RAM.  Many pro-
          grams may also need specific hardware or software such as:

             CGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying CGA
                         graphics.  This includes most "laptop CGA" com-
                         puters, plus higher resolution monitors such as
                         the EGA or VGA.  Some of the described programs
                         may operate correctly with a Hercules monitor if
                         you use a "CGA simulator" program; consult your
                         video monitor manual for details.
             Dual 720k
             drives      At least two floppy drives capable of writing at
                         least 720k of data per disk, or, preferably, a
                         hard disk (see below).
             EGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying EGA
                         graphics.  This almost always includes VGA and
                         other higher-resolution monitors.  CGA and
                         Hercules monitors won't suffice.
             Hard disk   A fixed-, removeable-, or network-drive device
                         capable of storing multiple megabytes of data.
                         Some programs also assume you have at least one
                         floppy drive in addition to the hard disk.

             Hercules
             monitor     A video monitor capable of displaying Hercules
                         graphics.  CGA monitors won't suffice.
             HP DeskJet  A Hewlett-Packard DeskJet or compatible printer.
                         Some programs may require a DeskJet starting with
                         a specific model such as the DeskJet Plus or
                         having a specific feature like a RAM cartridge.
             HP LaserJet A Hewlett-Packard LaserJet or compatible printer.
                         (HP DeskJet printers recognize most, but not all,
                         of the HP LaserJet command set.)  Some programs
                         may require a LaserJet either starting with a
                         specific model such as the LaserJet II or having a
                         specific feature like the LaserJet IIIDSi.
             Modem       A modem.  Almost all programs work with a "Hayes"
                         modem, specifically one able to recognize the
                         Hayes command set (an industry standard).  A few
                         programs claim to work with non-Hayes modems too.
                         Some programs may require the modem to operate at
                         a specific rate of speed (e.g. "1200 baud").
             Mouse       A mouse.
             Network     A computer hooked up a local area network (LAN)
                         system.  Program descriptions will normally
                         specify the different types of LAN systems under
                         which they can operate.
             Plotter     A plotter output device.  Many of the described
                         programs need a plotter able to recognize the HPGL
                         (Hewlett Packard Graphics Language) command set.
             PostScript
             printer     A printer able to interpret the PostScript(r)
                         command set.  Many printers (including the HP
                         LaserJet series) offer PostScript compatibility
                         via plug-in cartridges.
             VGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying VGA
                         graphics.  This almost always includes super-VGA
                         and other higher-resolution monitors.  CGA/EGA/
                         Hercules monitors won't suffice.
             SVGA
             monitor     A video monitor capable of displaying Super-VGA
                         graphics.  This almost always includes higher-
                         resolution monitors.  CGA/EGA/VGA/Hercules
                         monitors won't suffice.


          1.2  Registration benefits

          All ASP member shareware products come with certain minimum
          benefits when you register.  The author must acknowledge your
          registration (you don't just get a canceled check) and must
          provide a minimum amount of technical support for at least three
          months.

          ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition)                      4



          Many authors provide other registration benefits such as a
          printed manual, a master disk, a year of unlimited phone support,
          source code, etc.  The product description will mention them when
          appropriate.

          In addition, every ASP member can offer the following benefits to
          registered customers:

             CompuServe
             IntroPak    obtain an introductory membership to the Compu-
                         Serve network with a $15 usage credit when you
                         register an ASP member's shareware product.
             Shareware
             Magazine    get a discount when you subscribe to Shareware
                         Magazine.

          Many authors include this information when they acknowledge
          registrations.  Contact the author if you need assistance.

          Some authors add "registration reminder screens" to the shareware
          version of a program as a way to gently remind people to
          register.  (The ASP sets ethical standards regarding it.)  Almost
          all authors will either send a copy of the program without
          reminder screens, or will disclose a method to disable the
          reminders, once you register the product.


          1.3  Sample product description

          This sample description will help you understand what each field
          means:

          Product:  Shareware Program Name                            [***]
            A "[***]" across from the product name indicates a new or

            The "grand-daddy" of all file-finders, this program has been
            around since 1988 (previously named simply "WhereIs") and is
            regularly being upgraded to keep up with the times (and ahead
            of the competition).  SST supports searching within all major
            archive formats, regular-expression ("grep") searching on both
            filename and 4DOS descriptions, size ranges, date ranges,
            verified deletion, duplicate file searching, command execution
            on found files, and too many other features to list. Network
            compatible.

          Description:
            A highly interactive one-of-a-kind, multi-purpose AI disk.  It
            is entertaining (conduct zany chats with your PC) and
            educational (learn to write poetry in a variety of forms,
            styles, and prosodies).  It is written in the programming
            language INRAC (of Mindscape's "Racter" fame), which means you
            can communicate with the PC in natural English. You have never
            seen anything like it! (It's a spinoff of Chatfield Software's
            college CAI "Star Alpha.") For intelligent adults.

            All users hooked to a Novell network have at least one thing in
            common: they must login to gain access to applications & data.
            This program enhances the way you login to a server by
            providing a full-screen Novell style menu. It does extensive
            checking of accounting and security exceptions before actually
            logging in. Users are informed when exceptions occur.

            Interactive graphical display of the projection of generalized
            ridge regression "shrinkage path" statistics (either regression
            coefficients and the inferior direction or else regressor
            coordinates) onto any 2-dimensional linear subspace.  Select
            your subspace using any pair of orthogonal direction cosine
            vectors, then literally watch the inferior direction change as
            you step along the ridge shrinkage path.  View projections of
            likelihood contours.

            favorite job by pressing the appropriate function key. The
            activity on screen looks too important to be interrupted. If
            someone tries to stop the action with ESC or CTRL-C, a DANGER
            message pops up, and a tone alerts you. The process continues
            until you want to stop it.

            turquoise peacock, a blowing blue wind, and an unfolding purple
            iris. You never have to put the board away, and you won't lose
            a marble again!

            published descriptions date at least 100 years earlier.  Most
            likely the game is even older.  This presents variations on the
            classic peg solitaire with multiple starting positions, and
            varying endgames.  One of the pleasures of playing the game on
            your computer is that you can quickly set up the board to try
            different strategies. Ages 8 to 88.

                                      Chapter 18                           
                                   About shareware


          18.1  Assn. Shareware Professionals

            The Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) formed in 1987
            to strengthen the future of shareware as an alternative to
            traditional (retail) software marketing.  It also serves as an
            information clearing house for its members and the public at
            large.  ASP members subscribe to a code of ethics and are
            committed to the shareware concept.

            The ASP demands professionalism from its members.  Authors must
            acknowledge every registration (you get more than just a
            canceled check) and they must provide at least three months of
            support for their products.  ASP members must also live up to
            any other benefits they offer.

            You can turn to an ombudsman for help if you can't resolve a
            problem with an ASP author or disk vendor.  Members must
            explain this in every shareware program & disk vendor catalog.

            Few people need the ombudsman's help.  ASP members represent
            the cream of the crop in the shareware industry, but it's nice
            to know you can turn to someone if you think you got a raw
            deal.  Unfortunately, it happens - authors have been kicked out
            because of repeated complaints.

            The Association monitors Congress for potentially damaging
            legislation and has sent spokesmen to testify before
            congressional subcommittees.  It has also taken on the respon-
            sibility of safeguarding the term 'shareware' itself.  ASP has
            filed motions in countries as far away as England and South
            Africa to stop people who attempt to claim it as a trademark
            word.

            ASP members 'meet' online in a public forum of the CompuServe
            network (GO SHAREWARE).  Members send & receive messages,
            transmit files, and exchange valuable information.  Old hands
            in the shareware business pass along their insights to new
            members.  The group holds public and private debates and
            members vote on major issues by sending private messages to the
            Association secretary.

            The ASP holds yearly 'face to face' meetings and appears at
            various trade shows around the country (including COMDEX and
            PC-EXPO).  It also provides speakers who lecture on every
            aspect of shareware.  You can learn more by writing to the
            Association of Shareware Professionals, 545 Grover Road,
            Muskegon, MI 49442.  If you have a modem and a CompuServe

            This appendix cross-references each author to his or her pro-
            duct(s).  If you want to know where to write or call about a
            particular product, look for it in the index and write down the
            page number where the product name appears in this appendix.

                 Please note!  Many authors specify a shareware regis-
                 tration service's phone number in the "orders only"
                 phone field.  These registration services can only
                 take product orders.  They cannot offer any product
                 support; they cannot tell you anything about a pro-
                 duct; they cannot send you any brochures; and they
                 cannot forward any messages to the author.  You must
                 call the "queries" or "fax" numbers listed for an
                 author in order to obtain support or to speak with the
                 author.

          Appendix D, "Retired shareware"                               780





                                      Appendix D                           
                                  Retired shareware

            This appendix lists shareware products now "retired" by the
            author.  Retired products no longer receive the minimum levels
            of support, and the authors have agreed to return any registra-
            tion fees sent in for the software.

            An author may retire a shareware product for any number of
            reasons.  Some applications have outlived their usefulness;
            others may have grown too costly to continue supporting due to
            competition from other authors.

          Appendix E, "Sorted list of all programs"                     782





                                      Appendix E                           
                             Sorted list of all programs

            This appendix notes the author of each program listed in this
            catalog.  It comes in extremely handy when you want to see if a
            given program comes from an ASP member, or when you want to
            know the current version number/release date for a program.
            Hint: look in the index for the program (by name) if you want
            to see a full description for the program or learn the author's
            address & phone number.  You'll find page references for all
            the information you need.
