If you would like to have a program you have written distributed

PSL's Credit Card Registration Service:
PSL offers a shareware registration order taking service primarily
for the benefit of shareware authors who are unable to get a credit
card merchant account. We began this service in January 1989 and
presently take orders for over 1200 shareware authors.
PSL can take orders via our 800#, non-800#, CIS#, FAX#, and the Web.
For more information, visit http://www.pslweb.com/ordsvc.htm.
Other Help With Shareware Marketing:
The Association of Shareware Professionals is a trade organization
of shareware authors, vendors, and BBSs. One of the best sources
for assistance in marketing your program as shareware is the ASP
forum on CompuServe (GO ASPFORUM). Lots of programmers are regulars
there and willing to answer messages asking for help.
The best way to learn how to write a DOC file with all the blurbs
for shareware marketing is to study other successful shareware
programs.
We get many calls from programmers asking us to evaluate their
programs or to give them advice on shareware marketing.
Unfortunately, our resources are stretched to the limit with the
work we already have, so we are unable to honor such requests.
We do have a Shareware Programmer's Guide on disk which you may
order from PSL or download from the ASPFORUM on CompuServe
(GUIDE.EXE). ASP also gives this file to new members (last time we
heard).
How the PSL Database Can Help Programmers:
If you are thinking of writing a program, you can first check the PSL
database (using PSL_SHRD or PSL_SHRW) to see if what you want to
write has already been done.
Once you have written your program, you can search the database to
see if someone is already using the program name you want to use.
If you want to have a company name, you can also search the database
by company name to help avoid duplication. (The Windows program lets
you view a list of authors sorted by company name for faster
scanning.)
