A WORD ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION OF SHAREWARE PROFESSIONALS
=======================================================
ASP, the Association of Shareware Professionals, was formed in April
1987 to strengthen the future of shareware (user supported software) as
an alternative to commercial software. Its members, all of whom are
programmers who subscribe to a code of ethics or are non-programmers
sincerely interested in the advancement of shareware, are committed to
the concept of shareware as a method of marketing.
ASP's primary goals are:
o To inform users about shareware programs and about shareware as a
method of distributing and marketing software;
o To encourage broader distribution of shareware through user groups
and disk dealers who agree to identify and explain the nature of
shareware;
o To assist members in marketing their software;
o To provide a forum through which ASP members may communicate, share
ideas, and learn from each other; and
o To foster a high degree of professionalism among shareware authors
by setting programming, marketing and support standards for ASP
members to follow.
This program is produced by a member of the Association 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 49442-9427 USA, FAX 616-788-2765 or send a CompuServe
message via CompuServe Mail to ASP Ombudsman 70007,3536.
