- specific hardware/software names used in this catalog are the
- (registered) trademarks of specific companies. ASP PUBLISHES
- THIS CATALOG ONLY FOR THE USE OF ASP MEMBERS, SPECIFICALLY ASP-
- APPROVED DISK VENDORS. YOU MAY NOT DISTRIBUTE THIS CATALOG IN
- ANY FORM TO NON-MEMBERS UNLESS AUTHORIZED BY THE ASP TO DO SO.
- Write to the ASP at 545 Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442.
-
- The programs & services described in this catalog come from
- members of the Association of Shareware Professionals. This
- catalog may not list every ASP-member product and it may not be
- current. Send all comments about the catalog to the above
- address, or to CompuServe userID 70007,4004, or as a message in
- the CompuServe SHAREWARE forum.
-
- ASP strives to produce accurate catalogs BUT this publication may
- contain any number of typographical, graphical, printing, or
- interpretation errors.
-
- "These programs are produced by members of the Associa-
- tion of Shareware Professionals (ASP). ASP wants to
- make sure that 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,
- ASP may be able to help. The ASP Ombudsman can help you
- resolve a dispute or problem with an ASP member, but
- does not provide technical support for members'
- products. Please write to the ASP Ombudsman at 545
- Grover Road, Muskegon, MI 49442 or send a Compuserve
- message via Compuserve Mail to ASP Ombuds-
- man 70007,3536". The Ombudsman may be contacted by FAX
- by sending to the ASP FAX number: (616) 788-2765. In
- communication with the Ombudsman please include a tele-
- phone number and/or FAX if available.

- 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.
-
- ASP Catalog for Approved Vendors (Master Edition) 3
-
-
-
- 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 Approved Vendors (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
- updated description since the last catalog.
- Author: name & phone number of the person or company offering
- this product. See Appendix A for detailed information about
- the person or company.
- Version: version number (release date)

- this particular version. May involve bug fixes, change of
- address, major upgrade, etc.
- Needs: computer type [IBM PC, IBM 80386, Macintosh, etc.],
- operating system, and version number. May also describe other
- needed or recommended hardware & software. See above for more
- details.
- Registration fee: The cost of a single user license, expressed
- in U.S. currency unless otherwise noted. Many authors provide
- "multi-tier" registrations, and you may pay a little more or
- less than the amount stated here depending on your situation.
- (You can often save money by "reading the fine print.") Some
- authors include shipping & handling fees in the prices while
- others don't. Most authors offer network, site, and corporate
-

-
-
-
- licenses for a higher fee; please contact the author in
- question for details and price quotes.

- Download size: the size of the file(s) to download, in
- kilobytes. A 2400 baud modem can download about 14 kilobytes
- per minute under normal conditions.
- Vendor upgrade policy: Explains what the author plans to do so
- ASP approved vendors can put the current version in their
- libraries. In some cases the author will send updates to every
- ASP approved vendor. In other cases the author may decide not
- to send updates unless a vendor requests it.
- Disks needed: The number of disks a vendor would normally use
- when sending this product to a customer.
- Special instructions: tells if the author limits product
- distribution to the United States. In some cases the author or
- company may have signed a contract forbidding worldwide share-
- ware distribution. In other cases the product may only appeal
- to an American audience (income tax software for example). In
- rare cases, U.S. federal laws may actually prohibit the author
- or company from distributing the product in other countries.
- Editor's note: the catalog editor may append text of his own if
- something needs further explanation.
- Description: a paragraph or two of text which describes the
- shareware product in detail. This information comes direct
- from the author or company behind the program.
