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-

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

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 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.
ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition) 5
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.
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.
ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition) 6
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.
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)
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.
SWREG#: applies only to CompuServe users. You can register this
product on CompuServe and have the cost added to your service
bill. This method of payment proves especially useful for (1)
overseas users who don't have a credit card accepted by the
author; and (2) business customers who find it easier to
register shareware by tacking the fee onto a corporate-
ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition) 7
sponsored CompuServe account. CompuServe users should GO
CIS:SWREG for more details.
PsL#: you can register this product via the Public (software)
Library, and you can pay for it with your MasterCard, Visa,
American Express, Optima, or Discover card. Call (800)
242-4775, have your credit card handy, and have the product's
PsL registration number handy. (Overseas customers should call
U.S. 713-524-6394.) Or if you want to fax your shareware
purchase order to PsL, fax it to (713) 524-6398.
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.
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.

Typically an empty directory takes up 2048 or 4096 bytes of
disk space. This seeks out and removes hidden & unused
directories with one command. After making copies of floppies
by copying them to a temporary directory on the hard drive you
will delete or wipe the files using Norton's Wipefile for
example. A directory "tree" is left behind, requiring you to
use DOS's RD command, and type in every name. RD leaves a
remnant of the old directory name on the disk, with only its
st
1 character removed.

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" 712
account, you can log on and go to the SHAREWARE forum for more
information.

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.
