The Programmer's Productivity Pack (ProPak), Version 2.60
=================================================================
The Programmer's Productivity Pack (ProPak) is a software package
designed specifically for programmers and software developers.
It is an integrated, memory-resident package providing tools to
make your job easier. Here are some of the things others have
said about ProPak:
"...outstanding ProPak 2.02. Somebody has finally written a
programmer's calculator with features I can really use.
...All of these tasty tidbits make ProPak a feast of plenty.
But I'd buy it just to get the calculator and keyboard
reference. The rest is pure gravy."
--Tom Swan, PC World, April 1990, Page 218.
Reprinted with the permission of PC World.
"...a world-class programmer's calculator.... Highly
recommended."
--Jeff Duntemann, Dr. Dobb's Journal,
January 1990, Page 147.
"The best product in it's class on the market! I've used
other programmer's calculators, but not anymore. ProPak's
Programmer's Calculator leaves the others in the dust. It
saved me hours in my work with Source Print and Tree
Diagrammer. I wouldn't code a serious project without it!"
--Barry Butler, Powerline Software.
"ProPak is one of the most bombproof programs I've met up
with, smart enough to stay out of the way when it could cause
trouble. ...A model for well-designed software."
--Mike Gunderloy, Factsheet Five, Issue #38.
"...this version has a few items that can be used immediately
by this Clipper programmer ... I think there may be another
winner on the horizon! If you guess by the tone of this
review that I am impressed with this package - I am. ...it is
worthy for anyone's programming shelf."
--Steve Straley, SJS Associates.
"I love it! I'll use this all the time."
--Gary Gruber, Data Base Designs.

"This is the best product of it's kind. My work is based
heavily on math. The calculator in ProPak makes my life much
easier."
--Scott Jones, Austin Software Design
"..[ProPak] is incredible! This is easily the best
Programmer's Calculator I've ever seen!"
--Randy MacLean, FormGen Corporation, Canada
Added beginning with version 2.50:
New swapping version keeps only 7K of memory while resident.
The swapping version can swap to EMS or XMS memory or to disk.
New swapping version provides a Pop-Up DOS Shell capability
which allows you to swap/shell to DOS with as much as 600Kb
free in the DOS shell. Now you can shell to DOS from almost
any program.
Plus numerous changes, modifications, and improvements over
earlier versions.
The Programmer's Productivity Pack includes the most full
featured Programmer's Calculator available today; a pop up ASCII
and Color Attribute Chart; a detailed interactive Keystroke
Reference Center; a Keystroke Recording and Playback facility
that can save Keystroke Recordings to disk for future use; a
Screen Grabber that grabs text off your screen for use as a
Keystroke Recording (the screen grabber includes customizable
end-of-line characters); Screen Capture with customizable
filtering, Screen Saver with hard disk parking, background
printing, a 200+ page printed User's Manual, a two-color ASCII
Wall Poster Set (see below) and much much more.
The built-in Programmer's Calculator performs operations in
decimal, hexadecimal, binary and octal simultaneously. Its
operations include SHL/SHR, SAL/SAR, ROL/ROR, RCL/RCR, AND, NOT,
OR, XOR, XCHG, and more. It works with full 32 bit values in
both signed and unsigned formats.
This unique package is fully customizable and comes with free
technical support and a full 60 day money back guarantee.
The Programmer's Productivity Pack requires PC/MS-DOS 2.0 or
higher on an IBM PC,XT,AT, PS/2 or compatible. It supports all
common video adapter and monitor combinations, including dual
monitor systems.

The Programmer's Productivity Pack is even compatible with the
programs that traditionally cause problems for other memory-
resident programs, including Sidekick, and Microsoft's newest
"Quick" environments. The swapping version can even run as a
stand-alone, DESQview aware program.
The registered version comes with all the above, the ASCII Poster
Set (described on page 6), plus a Bonus Disk Set packed full of
useful programs, utilities, and information files.

Programmer's Productivity Pack Lite, Version 1.00
=================================================================
The Programmer's Productivity Pack Lite (ProLite) is a subset of
the Programmer's Productivity Pack (ProPak). ProLite is intended

package.
ProLite includes the Programmer's Calculator, the Keystroke
Reference Center, the Pop-Up ASCII & Color Attribute Chart, and
the Pop-Up DOS Shell. ProLite uses swapping technology to free
all but 7K of DOS memory when resident. ProLite may also be
loaded as a stand-alone, DESQview-aware program, or as a normal
memory-resident program without swapping. ProLite is fully
customizable. Please refer to the description of the regular
Programmer's Productivity Pack (above) for more complete details.
The registered version of ProLite comes with the most current
version on disk, a free CompuServe Introductory Membership, a
Bonus Disk, and free technical support.
The shareware evaluation version is available from your favorite
ASP Approved Disk Vendor or a BBS near you.

Easy Format: The Fun Floppy Disk Formatter, Version 3.20
=================================================================
"How do I feel about Easy Format and ProPak? In a word -
'stunned!' ... Your products put the "P" in the ASP. They are
simply the most professional utilities I have ever used, and
your doc's are actually a pleasure to read."
--Scott Jones, Austin Software Design
"...the Lamborghini of formatters."
--Richard Immig, Colorado Springs PC User Group.
"The Most Versatile Disk Formatter in the World!"
--Tug Lines, The Journal of the Turbo User Group.
"We found EzFormat simple to use even without program
documentation."
--Dr. Harold J. Highland, Editor-in-Chief Emeritus,
Computers & Security
"I'm REALLY impressed! Easy Format is F-A-S-T !!"
--Randy MacLean, FormGen Corporation, Canada
That's right! Easy Format, the program that's winning 4 and 5
star awards from shareware disk vendors all over the world. This
is the program the Turbo User Group calls "The Most Versatile
Disk Formatter in the World!"
If you need to format large quantities of disks, even two
different sizes simultaneously in two different drives then you
simply must try Easy Format. It's easy to use, menu driven, and
fully customizable. So if you just need an easy to use
replacement for the DOS format program, then Easy Format is
exactly what you need.
If you send disks to others and can't afford to send out faulty
disks, then you can't afford to be without Easy Format. It's
built in "Distribution Quality" mode accepts only perfect disks
and rejects all others.
Easy Format gives you complete control over every detail of the
format process - four different disk testing levels, six
different bad spot marking options, volume labels and more. You
Products as of March, 1991 Page 7 of 16
- List of Products From Falk Data Systems -
can even place volume labels on disks and still make the disk
bootable using the DOS SYS command.
Easy Format gives you the extra touches such as custom boot
messages (which appear whenever someone tries to boot their
computer with your disk in drive A:) that make your disks
special.
Three versions including a DESQview specific background format
program are included. All this, and Easy Format is lightning
fast too!
Every option - screen colors, sound effects, language (English,
German, or Spanish), and more - is fully customizable. Easy
Format can even remember your options and use them again
automatically in the future.
Order your registered version directly from Falk Data Systems

The Easy Format Tech Kit, Version 3.20
=================================================================
If you are a programmer or developer, or someone who enjoys
technical details, then we have something just for you. The
"Easy Format Tech Kit" is available to registered users of Easy
Format for an additional fee. The Easy Format Tech Kit is a
retail software product and must be paid for in advance.
The Easy Format Tech Kit comes with several items, including
those listed below.
The Easy Format Tech Kit includes a printed, 80+ page technical
reference document that tells you everything you ever wanted to
know about floppy disks and drives (and then some). You would
have to purchase over a dozen books to get all the technical
information that is condensed into this one easy to read source.
The printed manual that comes with the Easy Format Tech Kit,
contains over 200 pages of detailed information, designed to help
you get the most out of the package.
The Easy Format Tech Kit includes the following items, and more:
The complete source code for FormatF.EXE - Written entirely in
assembly language. This includes the source code, and printed
documentation, for DOSLIB, an assembly language mini-library that
will make your assembly language work much easier.
The source code for DvFormat.EXE - Written entirely in assembly
language. This includes the source code, and printed
documentation, for DVLIB, an assembly language mini-library
designed specifically for assembly language programming under the
DESQview multitasking environment. The DvFormat source code
requires the DESQview API Reference Manual (which comes with a
disk containing DVAPI.INC) from Quarterdeck Office Systems, in
order to reassemble the program.
The source code for EzFormat.EXE - written in Turbo Pascal
(version 5.5) and assembly language. This source code requires
Turbo Professional (version 5.08) from TurboPower Software in
order to recompile the program.
The source code for Txt2Obj, a utility program developed for use
in Easy Format. Txt2Obj takes a text file and slightly
compresses it, then converts it into an .OBJ file that can be
linked directly into your programs. This is the tool used to
make Easy Format work in English, German and Spanish.
Products as of March, 1991 Page 10 of 16
- List of Products From Falk Data Systems -
The assembly language source code for FormatF and DvFormat is
compatible with OPTASM, OPTLIB, and OPTLINK from SLR Systems,
Borland International's TASM, TLIB, and TLINK, and Microsoft's
MASM, LIB, and LINK. Make files are included for the make
capabilities of each brand of tools.
The printed documentation that comes with the Easy Format Tech
Kit includes several flow charts to help you get the most out of
the source code.
The Easy Format Tech Kit is available only to registered users of
Easy Format, for only $65.00. Source code is sold "as is".
Note: Registered users of both the Programmer's Productivity Pack
and Easy Format are entitled to a 15% discount on their
purchase of the Easy Format Tech Kit.

=================================================================
Peruse: An ASCII and Binary File Reader, Version 1.10
=================================================================
"Mondo super program!"
--Lou Miranda, Author of JEPRS
Peruse is a file reader, a program enabling you to examine or
"peruse" the contents of disk files. It can read and display
ASCII (text) files or binary (non-text) files. Peruse can access
an almost unlimited number of files at a time and those files can
be of any size. Peruse can display the contents of files in
either text or hex formats.
Peruse provides complete search, block and printing capabilities.
It also supports 43/50 line modes on EGA and VGA adapters.
Peruse has a swapping shell-to-DOS capability that provides up to
600Kb of free RAM in the DOS shell. It includes extensive
context-sensitive and indexed (hypertext) help, available at the
touch of a key (or Click of a mouse).
Peruse can even be loaded as a swapping memory resident program
keeping only 7Kb of normal RAM memory. It is able to swap to XMS
or EMS memory, or to disk. In this mode you can use the swapping
shell-to-DOS capability to provide access to DOS from within
almost any program.
One of the most interesting features of Peruse is its mouse
support. Peruse can be controlled almost entirely by mouse. You
can load peruse with hundreds of files, prop your feet up on your
desk, sit back and easily read file after file, jumping back and
forth between them, printing selected files and more, all without
touching the keyboard. Using only the mouse you can control
virtually every capability of Peruse.
Peruse is also customizable. You can customize many features of
Peruse with the easy to use customizing program that is included
in the Peruse package.
Best of all, Peruse is free!
Peruse is available from your favorite ASP Approved Disk Vendor
or a BBS near you.

------------------
We don't plan on moving, but the nature of Shareware is such that
old versions are often floating around for years after they have
been replaced. If for some reason you can't reach us at our

program many months after it was released), then you should be
able to get our current address by writing to:
ASP Executive Director

U.S.A.
or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP
