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 programs 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).

Description:
Simplifies the task of saving files on your PC. You specify
which files on your PC can be recovered from other sources
(original media, BBSs, distribution diskettes, etc.). This
need only be done once. Then FSave only backs up the files
which cannot be gotten elsewhere. This makes your periodic
filesaves small, fast and easy. No special hardware (e.g. tape
drive) is needed. I regularly back up my 170 mb disk onto a
single 1.44 floppy.

Description:
Makes DOS better than Windows. This DOS shell lets you manage
your hard disk without having to learn complex commands or
answer needless questions. It displays the key needed to
activate a command on the screen so there is no memorization
necessary. All the keys are centered around the numeric keypad
so if you can't type you can still initiate commands quickly,
much faster than with a mouse. You can do all your file
management, and much more, while drinking coffee!

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. This 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 responsibility 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
635
account, you can log on and go to the SHAREWARE forum for more
information.
