        ASP Catalog for BBS Users                                       3
                                    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 BBS Users                                       4
           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 BBS Users                                       5
        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.
        Needs:  computer type [IBM PC, IBM 80386, MacIntosh, etc.],
          operating system, and version number.  May also describe other
          needed or optional hardware & software.  See above for more
          details.
        Registration:  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 sometimes save money by "reading the fine print.")
          Some authors don't include shipping & handling fees in their
          prices.  Most authors offer network, site, and corporate
        ASP Catalog for BBS Users                                       6
          licenses; please contact the author for specific details and
          price quotes.

        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.
        Description:  a paragraph or two of text which describes the
          shareware product in detail.  This information comes direct

          disk, compress them and move them off to floppies. It maintains
          a catalog to allow you to track and restore any file from the
          archive automatically. Think of it as file manager, archiver,
          and disk cataloger all in one. It will let you free up hard
          disk space and maintain control of your files.

          A RAM Disk for IBM computers having EMS or XMS memory.  The
          program can be configured to provide disks greater than four
          megabytes, unlike many other programs.  NJRAMD is very fast,
          outpacing both RAMDRIVE and VIDSK from Microsoft. It is also
          very small -- requiring less than 700 bytes of DOS memory. Of
          course, the RAM Disk takes up as much memory as you configure
          it to.

          The game of fantastic and farfetched definitions.  Each round a
          player chooses a word. You can choose your own word or pick one
          from the large selection included with the game.  Each other
          player makes up their own definition for the word.  Everyone
          votes for the word they think is correct and points are scored
          for guessing the proper one, or misleading other players. Great
          vocabulary builder.  Can be played by 1-6.

        Description:
          No one really knows when PEG solitaire was invented. Some
          stories trace it to prisoners during the French Revolution, but
          published descriptions date at least 100 years earlier.  Most
          likely the game is even older.  PEG presents variations on the
          classic peg solitaire with multiple starting positions, and
          varying endgames.  One of the pleasures of playing the game on
          your computer is that you can quickly set up the board to try
          different strategies. Ages 8 to 88.

                                 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

        Appendix D, "Retired shareware"                               473
                                    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.

        Appendix E, "Sorted list of all programs"                     474
                                    Appendix E                           
                           Sorted list of all programs
          This appendix notes the author of each program listed in this
          catalog.  It comes in extremely handy when you want to see if a
          given program comes from an ASP member, or when you want to
          know the current version number/release date for a program.
          Hint: look in the index for the program (by name) if you want
          to see a full description for the program or learn the author's
          address & phone number.  You'll find page references to all the
          information you need.
