- may distribute this document in electronic form if they have an
- ASP associate membership and if they charge only their normal
- distribution fees. All others must obtain prior written per-
- mission from the Association of Shareware Professionals. Write

- 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

- "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

- 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:
- CD-ROM drive
- A device capable of reading CD-ROMs. A CD-ROM
- looks just like a regular compact disk with music
- on it, but it has information on it only a
- computer's CD-ROM drive can read.
- CGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying CGA
- graphics. This includes most "laptop CGA"
- computers, plus higher resolution monitors such as
- the EGA or VGA. Some (but not all) 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 disk drives
- At least two floppy drives capable of writing at
- least 720k of data per disk, or, preferably, a
- hard disk (see below).
-
- ASP Catalog Updates for BBS Users (Master Edition) 4
-
-
-
- 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.
- EMS memory Memory accessible via the Lotus-Intel-Microsoft
- Expanded Memory Specification. Not to be confused
- with expanded memory, extended memory, or XMS
- memory (see below). Windows, OS/2, and newer
- versions of DOS come with software designed to
- implement EMS memory on computers with enough
- installed memory.
- Epson printer
- A printer capable of recognizing the Epson print
- command set (an industry standard). Some
- printers, including some laser printers, have
- options to behave like an Epson printer. Some
- programs may require a specific model such as the
- Epson MX-80 or FX-100.
- Hard disk A fixed-, removable-, 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.
- Hercules monitor
- A video monitor capable of displaying Hercules
- graphics. CGA, EGA, VGA, & SVGA 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 specific model such as the LaserJet
- II or with a specific feature like the LaserJet
- IIIDSi.
- Math coprocessor
- An IBM PC or compatible computer with an installed
- math coprocessor unit. Commonly referred to as an
- "80x87 chip," these include the 8087, 80287, and
- 80387 coprocessors. (80486- and Pentium-based
- computers have math coprocessors by default.)
- Most 8086-, 80286-, and 80386-based IBM PCs &
- compatibles have no installed math coprocessor by
- default. (80286- and 80386-based computers can
- accept a math coprocessor if you purchase one.)
- Modem A modem. Almost all programs work with a "Hayes
- compatible" 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 Logitec- or Microsoft-compatible mouse.
-

-
-
-
- Network A computer hooked up a local area network (LAN).
- 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 PostScriptr
- command set. Many printers (including the HP
- LaserJet series) offer PostScript compatibility
- via plug-in cartridges. Software also exists to
- emulate PostScript on hundreds of popular
- printers.
- SVGA monitor
- A video monitor capable of displaying SVGA
- graphics. This almost always includes higher-
- resolution monitors. CGA, EGA, VGA, and Hercules
- monitors won't suffice.
- Streaming tape device
- A device capable of reading streaming tapes. Also
- referred to as a "tape backup device." Streaming
- tapes look something like a standard music
- cassette or videocassette, but it holds
- information only a computer can read. Common
- streaming tapes include DC600, DC2000, DC2120;
- tape storage formats include QIC-40 and QIC-80.
- VGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying VGA
- graphics. This almost always includes higher-
- resolution monitors. CGA, EGA, and Hercules
- monitors won't suffice.
- XMS memory Memory accessible via the Lotus-Intel-Microsoft
- eXtended Memory Specification. Not to be confused
- with expanded memory, extended memory, or EMS
- memory (see above). Windows, OS/2, and newer
- versions of DOS come with software designed to
- implement XMS memory on computers with enough
- installed memory.

-
- 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.

- competition from other authors.
