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 Updates 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 Updates 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)
Reason for version: Explains why the author or company released
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
ASP Catalog Updates for Approved Vendors (Master Edition) 5
licenses for a higher fee; please contact the author in
question for details and price quotes.
Registration benefits: Describes the benefits you get for regis-
tering the software. All ASP shareware programs come with cer-
tain minimum benefits (see above for details).
Look for: FILENAME.EXT on BBSs (call xxx-xxx-xxxx to download it
at no charge); FNAME.EXT in GATE:FORUM forum LIB 9 on Compu-
Serve (or contact userID 78901,2345 for assistance); FILE-
NAME.EXT in ROUNDTABLE RTC LIB 9 on GEnie (or contact userID
J.QAUTHOR for assistance).
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.

Appendix A
Author addresses
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.
Then turn to the appropriate page in this appendix and look up
the author.
------------------------------------------------------
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.

Retired shareware

author. Retired products no longer receive the minimum levels
of support, and the authors have agreed to return any registra-

others may have grown too costly to continue supporting due to
competition from other authors.
