ASSOCIATION OF SHAREWARE PROFESSIONALS The Association of Shareware Professionals (ASP) is an organization dedicated to the promotion of the shareware marketing concept. Many of the software programs on this CD-ROM are authored by members of ASP. Programs by ASP authors are so noted in the reviews. Sherburne Knowledge Systems, Inc. is an approved vendor and associate member of the ASP. ASP wants to make sure the shareware principle works for you. If you are unable to resolve a shareware related problem with an ASP member by contacting the member directly, the ASP Ombudsman can help resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member. They do not provide technical support for products. Write the ASP Ombudsman at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49422 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 7 7,3536.

WHAT IS SHAREWARE? Shareware is a unique system of distribution that allows authors to place their products in the hands of the end user before the end user pays for it. This allows the user to determine if the software meets his or her needs. The shareware distribution system allows thousands of authors to bring their products to market inexpensively - saving the user from having to bear these costs. Implied in this is the premise and promise that the end user will pay the registration fee if he or she uses the product. The Copyright laws apply to shareware products. The author retains ownership even though the product may be copied. You may copy programs from this CD-ROM disk, but if you use any, please register with the authors.
