MEMBER - ASSOCIATION OF SHAREWARE PROFESSIONALS
The author of this program is a member of ASP and has agreed to
comply with its standards:
Programming standards-
- The program meets ASP's definition of Shareware.
- The program has been thoroughly tested by the author and
should not be harmful to other files or hardware if used
properly (although ASP cannot warrant this; therefore, the
user should take normal precautions in trying new software).
Documentation standards-
- Sufficient documentation is provided to allow the average
user to try all major functions of the program.
- The program author has explained the Shareware concept in a
professional and positive manner.
Support standards-
- The program author will respond as described in the
documentation to people who send registration payments. At a
minimum, the author will send an acknowledgement of payment.
- The author will respond to written bug reports from
registered users when the user provides a self-addressed,
stamped envelope (some authors will respond by phone, but
this is not an ASP requirement).
- Incompatibilities with other software or hardware, major or
unusual program limitations, or known problems are noted in
the documentation that comes with the shareware version of
the program.
General-
- The author keeps his/her membership in ASP current.
- The author recognizes that any user may appeal to ASP for any
unresolved dispute that arises.
If you feel that the author has not complied with these standards
in some manner or if you register the program with the author and
subsequently have any disputes with the author which cannot be
resolved, please write the ASP at:
Association of Shareware Professionals
PO Box 5786
Bellevue, WA 98006
While ASP cannot warrant programs nor the actions of members, ASP
will do what it can to assure that all authors who claim
membership comply with ASP standards. These standards are the
assurance of quality and support that you will get when you
register Shareware produced by ASP members.
SHAREWARE
To promote better understanding of the shareware concept, ASP has
developed the following definition of Shareware:
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try
software before buying it. If you try a Shareware
program and continue using it, you are expected to
register. Individual programs differ on details -- some
request registration while others require it, some
specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you
get anything from the simple right to continue using the
software to an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial
software, and the copyright holder retains all rights,
with a few specific exceptions as stated below.
Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just
like commercial authors, and the programs are of
comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good
programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the
method of distribution. The author specifically grants
the right to copy and distribute the software, either to
all and sundry or to a specific group. For example,
some authors require written permission before a
commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.
SO, Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of
software. You should find software that suits your needs
and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware.
The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier,
because you can try before you buy. And because the
overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware has the
ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.
