Association Of Shareware Professionals
 Association Of Shareware Professionals (ASP)

ASP -- What is it

ASP, the Association of Shareware Professionals, was formed in April 1987 to strengthen the future of shareware (user supported software) as an alternative to commercial software. Its members, all of whom are programmers who subscribe to a code of ethics or are non-programmers sincerely interested in the advancement of shareware, are committed to the concept of  shareware as a method of marketing.

ASP's primary goals are:

 To inform users about shareware programs and about shareware as a method of distributing and marketing software;

 To encourage broader distribution of shareware through user groups and disk dealers who agree to identify and explain the nature of shareware;

 To assist members in marketing their software;

 To provide a forum through which ASP members may communicate, share ideas, and learn from each other; and

 To foster a high degree of professionalism among shareware authors by setting programming, marketing and support standards for ASP members to follow.

ASP Ombudsman Information

This program is produced by a member of the Association 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 49442-9427 or send a CompuServe message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
