ASP author members are programmers who subscribe to a uniform code of ethics and are committed to the shareware method of marketing. Every ASP author stands behind his products and the ASP stands behind it's members. When you register a program written by an ASP member you can be sure that technical support, on going product developement and high quality are standards to be expected. Every author and every program each ASP author produces must pass a uniform set of standards. If you have problems that you cannot resolve with an author you can look to the ASP for arbitration. ASP members are some of the best software producers in the world and their dedication to their products and shareware marketing is demonstrated by their willingness to comply with ASP standards. ~f1 ~f2/INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ~30 INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ~31 The ASP ADVANTAGE CD-ROM DOES NOT HAVE TO BE INSTALLED to be used.
