                                      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.

             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 Updates for BBS Users (Master Edition)              4



          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

            favorite job by pressing the appropriate function key. The
            activity on screen looks too important to be interrupted. If
            someone tries to stop the action with ESC or CTRL-C, a DANGER
            message pops up, and a tone alerts you. The process continues
            until you want to stop it.

            billions of other mazes too. The easiest are solvable by very
            young children;  the most difficult may seem impossible to
            nearly everyone.  A maze lover's dream!

                                      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"                     151





                                      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 for all
            the information you need.
