ASP strives to produce accurate catalogs BUT this publication may contain any number of typographical, graphical, printing, or interpretation errors. "These programs are produced by members of the Associa- tion 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 or send a Compuserve message via Compuserve Mail to ASP Ombuds- man 70007,3536". The Ombudsman may be contacted by FAX by sending to the ASP FAX number: (616) 788-2765. In communication with the Ombudsman please include a tele- phone number and/or FAX if available. Please write to the ASP at the above address if you have any comments or questions about this catalog. ASP Catalog Updates for BBS Users (Master Edition) 2 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 Updates for BBS Users (Master Edition) 3 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 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. Version: version number (release date) Needs: computer type [IBM PC, IBM 80386, Macintosh, etc.], operating system, and version number. May also describe other needed or recommended hardware & software. See above for more details. Registration fee: 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 often save money by "reading the fine print.") Some authors include shipping & handling fees in the prices while others don't. Most authors offer network, site, and corporate ASP Catalog Updates for BBS Users (Master Edition) 5 licenses for a higher fee; please contact the author in question for details and price quotes. Registration benefits: Describes the benefits you get for regis- tering the software. All ASP shareware programs come with cer- tain minimum benefits (see above for details).

Download size: the size of the file(s) to download, in kilobytes. A 2400 baud modem can download about 14 kilobytes per minute under normal conditions. 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. Editor's note: the catalog editor may append text of his own if something needs further explanation. Description: a paragraph or two of text which describes the shareware product in detail. This information comes direct from the author or company behind the program.

You must call the "queries" or "fax" numbers listed for an author in order to obtain support or to speak with the author. ------------------------------------------------------ Products: EMS Log, Paper Hanger Author: Jordan Bigel th Address: 136 East 55 St., New York, NY 10022 Orders & queries: 212-752-6343 Fax: 212-995-5415 Product: WINIMAGE Author: Vollant Gilles Address: 13, rue Mansart, 91540 Mennecy, FRANCE Product: CEnvi Author: Nombas Address: P.O.
