| − | 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 for BBS Users 5
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | Needs: computer type [IBM PC, IBM 80386, MacIntosh, etc.],
| |
| − | operating system, and version number. May also describe other
| |
| − | needed or optional hardware & software. See above for more
| |
| − | details.
| |
| − | Registration: 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 sometimes save money by "reading the fine print.")
| |
| − | Some authors don't include shipping & handling fees in their
| |
| − | prices. Most authors offer network, site, and corporate
| |
| − | �
| |
| − | ASP Catalog for BBS Users 6
| |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | | |
| − | licenses; please contact the author for specific details and
| |
| − | price quotes.
| |
| − | Version: version number (release date)
| |
| − | User benefits: Describes the benefits you get for registering
| |
| − | the software. All ASP shareware programs come with certain
| |
| − | minimum benefits; see above for details.
| |
| − | Look for: FILENAME.EXT (call xxx-xxx-xxxx to download it at no
| |
| − | charge); FNAME.EXT in GATE:FORUM forum LIB 9 on CompuServe;
| |
| − | FILENAME.EXT in ROUNDTABLE RTC LIB 9 on GEnie.
| |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | 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.
| |
| − | Editor's note: the catalog editor may append text of his own if
| |
| − | something needs further explanation.
