                                      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:
             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).

          ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition)                      3



             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.
             EMS memory  Memory accessible via the Lotus-Intel-Microsoft
                         Expanded Memory Specification.  Not to be confused
                         with expanded memory, extended memory, or XMS
                         memory (see below).  Windows, OS/2, and newer
                         versions of DOS come with software designed to
                         implement EMS memory on computers with enough
                         installed memory.
             Epson printer
                         A printer capable of recognizing the Epson print
                         command set (an industry standard).  Some
                         printers, including some laser printers, have
                         options to behave like an Epson printer.  Some
                         programs may require a specific model such as the
                         Epson MX-80 or FX-100.
             Hard disk   A fixed-, removable-, 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, EGA, VGA, & SVGA 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 specific model such as the LaserJet
                         II or with a specific feature like the LaserJet
                         IIIDSi.
             Math coprocessor
                         An IBM PC or compatible computer with an installed
                         math coprocessor unit.  Commonly referred to as an
                         "80x87 chip," these include the 8087, 80287, and
                         80387 coprocessors.  (80486- and Pentium-based
                         computers have math coprocessors by default.)
                         Most 8086-, 80286-, and 80386-based IBM PCs &
                         compatibles have no installed math coprocessor by
                         default.  (80286- and 80386-based computers can
                         accept a math coprocessor if you purchase one.)
             Modem       A modem.  Almost all programs work with a "Hayes
                         compatible" 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 Logitec- or Microsoft-compatible mouse.

             Network     A computer hooked up a local area network (LAN).
                         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 PostScriptr
                         command set.  Many printers (including the HP
                         LaserJet series) offer PostScript compatibility
                         via plug-in cartridges.  Software also exists to
                         emulate PostScript on hundreds of popular
                         printers.
             SVGA monitor
                         A video monitor capable of displaying SVGA
                         graphics.  This almost always includes higher-
                         resolution monitors.  CGA, EGA, VGA, and Hercules
                         monitors won't suffice.
             Streaming tape device
                         A device capable of reading streaming tapes.  Also
                         referred to as a "tape backup device."  Streaming
                         tapes look something like a standard music
                         cassette or videocassette, but it holds
                         information only a computer can read.  Common
                         streaming tapes include DC600, DC2000, DC2120;
                         tape storage formats include QIC-40 and QIC-80.
             VGA monitor A video monitor capable of displaying VGA
                         graphics.  This almost always includes higher-
                         resolution monitors.  CGA, EGA, and Hercules
                         monitors won't suffice.
             XMS memory  Memory accessible via the Lotus-Intel-Microsoft
                         eXtended Memory Specification.  Not to be confused
                         with expanded memory, extended memory, or EMS
                         memory (see above).  Windows, OS/2, and newer
                         versions of DOS come with software designed to
                         implement XMS memory on computers with enough
                         installed memory.


          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.

          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.

          ASP Catalog for BBS Users (Master Edition)                      5



          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

            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
            licenses for a higher fee; please contact the author in
            question for details and price quotes.
          SWREG#: applies only to CompuServe users.  You can register this
            product on CompuServe and have the cost added to your service
            bill.  This method of payment proves especially useful for (1)
            overseas users who don't have a credit card accepted by the
            author; and (2) business customers who find it easier to
            register shareware by tacking the fee onto a corporate-

            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.

            by copying them to a temporary directory on the hard drive you
            will delete or wipe the files using Norton's Wipefile for
            example. A directory "tree" is left behind, requiring you to
            use DOS's RD command, and type in every name. RD leaves a
            remnant of the old directory name on the disk, with only its

          Description:
            Compress MS-Windows programs to dramatically reduce their size.
            Programs compressed are functionally identical to the
            originals, only smaller. For example, consider the 180k
            "Solitaire" game that is bundled with MS-Windows 3.1. You can
            compress it to less than 77k, or 43% of its original size. The
            smaller, more efficient programs save disk space, LAN overhead,
            disk caching resources and discourage reverse engineering.

            A safe Windows 3.1 logger of each user's keystrokes and mouse
            clicks by application name, by each window you enter. Companies
            use this to 1) record the utilization of a PC by each worker,
            and 2) to record the productivity of heavy Windows users.  Each
            window name and application name are stored, the elapsed time
            in the window, and the mouse and keystroke counts. Multi-user,
            Paradox engine, buffers IO globally.

          Description:
            Provides a means of taking electronic snapshots of specific
            screen text areas and auto-typing the captured text later upon
            demand.  Up to ten snapshots may coexist. Usually, screen data
            are captured while running one program and then automatically
            typed via synthesized keystrokes to provide input to another
            program.  You do not rely upon memory, or notes, to capture the
            displayed text, and the captured text is automatically typed
            when needed; therefore, accuracy is insured.

          Description:
            Intercepts all output to your printer. It sends everything
            right along until it sees a "^" followed by 5 to 50 digits,
            whereupon it prints a bar code instead. By this means, you can
            print a POSTNET code anywhere you wish: on an envelope, a
            mailing label, or a letter (for window envelopes). This will
            work with whatever mail list, database, or word processor
            program you already use. Works on HP LaserJets, IBM 24-pin
            ProPrinters, and both 9- and 24-pin Epson compatibles.

            This units conversion calculator for Windows includes MANY
            common and not-so-common unit conversions (inches to
            centimeters, mph to furlongs per fortnight, and so forth).
            What's different about Convert, though, is that you can easily
            add your own unit conversions with any text editor (or use the
            built-in one).  Convert can even handle conversions which
            require an offset such as Farenheit to Centigrade. Other
            features include cutting and pasting for chain calculations and
            control over output format.

            Provides an easy to use, yet powerful, means of menu controlled
            branching within the AUTOEXEC or other batch stream.  May be
            used as a conventional menu system to provide a main menu from
            which programs may be run; however, it provides much more.
            Since menu selections cause a branch to a specific position
            within a batch file, DOS commands at that position not only can
            run a program, but also may select drives, change directories,
            copy and rename, files, and so on.

            For centuries, miners have brought a canary down into the mines
            with them, because a canary will die from small amounts of
            deadly gasses.  Installed and used properly, PC Canary may
            provide warning to eradicate the virus before it does serious
            damage.  It checks itself and the comspec for changes &
            identifies the location of the changes for analysis purposes.
            Does not use a signature table to identify viruses; this allows
            it to react to viruses that haven't been written yet.

            Library contains over 250 *.wk1 macros plus over 220 *.mlb
            macros that sense the Lotus release and transparently works on
            all versions 2.0 & up, 2-D and 3-D (multiple sheets ranges!).
            Ranges does not have to be contiguous or of one type of data.
            Example, when macro processes labels, cells of other types are
            ignored. Menu driven Macro Managers allow using point & shoot
            to start macros without combining them. Only manager stays with
            worksheet. Macros and managers outperform commercial library
            macros!

            Easy-to-use employee time clock program with password-protected
            file manager eliminates the hassle of collecting and totaling
            employee hours worked.  Ensures employees remember to record
            all times by "reminding" them if they forget.  At your
            discretion, you can allow employees to record "forgotten"
            times. You can add times for when employees are not actually at
            your work site (attending seminars, etc).  Context-sensitive
            help screens throughout.  Uncomplicated yet full-featured!

          Description:
            How can I find out what the execution time is?  Or the maximum
            stack depth?  This program can find maximum and minimum
            exectution time, deepest stack depth usage, and possible stack
            imbalances.  It will document the execution path taken to
            achieve those results.  Better than a simulator because ALL
            possible combinations of branches are examined. Forget about
            setting up inputs or running logic analyzer traces to find out
            the worst case parameters of your program.

            If you can do it you are allowed to attempt progressively more
            difficult mazes up to the ultimate "maze of the year!" There
            are billions (with a B!) of other mazes too; some easy enough
            for a young child; some not!  A maze lover's dream!

            activity on screen looks too important to be interrupted. If
            someone tries to stop the action with ESC or CTRL-C, a DANGER

            No one really knows when PEG solitaire was invented. Some

            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.

            interact with existing terrain and modify it by leaving colored
            trails. Collisions between pieces cause opposing pieces to
            freeze and allied pieces to thaw (if frozen) and move. The game
            ends when all of one player's pieces are frozen. Players may
            edit and save any existing board configuration.

            for the next level.  Uses Cascoly's unique 3-D perspective
            graphics to show fantastic detail.  As you scroll from side to

                                      Chapter 18                           
                                   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 respon-
            sibility 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

            This appendix cross-references each author to his or her pro-
            duct(s).  If you want to know where to write or call about a
            particular product, look for it in the index and write down the
            page number where the product name appears in this appendix.
            Then turn to the appropriate page in this appendix and look up
            the author.

                 ------------------------------------------------------
                 Please note!  Many authors specify a shareware regis-
                 tration service's phone number in the "orders only"
                 phone field.  These registration services can only
                 take product orders.  They cannot offer any product
                 support; they cannot tell you anything about a pro-
                 duct; they cannot send you any brochures; and they
                 cannot forward any messages to the author.  You must
                 call the "queries" or "fax" numbers listed for an
                 author in order to obtain support or to speak with the
                 author.

          Appendix D, "Retired shareware"                               845





                                      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.

                             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.
