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

ASP Catalog for CompuServe Users 2
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 CompuServe Users 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 CompuServe Users 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.

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 for CompuServe Users 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-

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.

This cutie ties up your computer with a Very Important (but
imaginary) task so you can take a break. When you start Hard At
Work, it selects one of 7 routines at random. You can pick your
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.

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
Chapter 18, "About shareware" 476
account, you can log on and go to the SHAREWARE forum for more
information.

Appendix D, "Retired shareware" 599
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.
