To the purchaser of this CD-ROM:

  Greetings to you, and congratulations for selecting this disc
  filled with the "latest and greatest" shareware works written
  by the members of the Association of Shareware Professionals
  (ASP).

  You'll find literally almost every kind, type and sort of 
  software on this product - from business applications to home
  and hobby software to games and utilities.

  Browse through the file listings.  Read the descriptions of
  the software available to you.  Pick out the ones that look
  interesting to you, and then go ahead and try them out.

  That's the beauty of the shareware marketing concept - all
  these talented authors have provided their best software for
  you to try out, in your home or business, at your own pace and
  style.  Give them a thorough "test-drive" BEFORE you spend your
  hard-earned money to purchase them.

  When you find the programs that you find useful, or intend to 
  continue to use, or give you hours of enjoyment - you are required 
  to register them with the author and pay the registration fee.

  What will you get in return?  At a minimum, you'll have a clear
  conscience because you will have purchased the legal right to
  continue using the programs you've paid for.  Further benefits
  vary from author to author, but you can often expect to get:

        - The latest version, direct from the author
        - Printed manuals
        - Higher levels of support than unregistered users
        - "Bonus" programs or discount offers on other products
        - Discounts on upgrades and/or future releases

  But best of all, you will encourage the distribution of even
  more great shareware products such as these by showing your
  support of your favorite programs!

  I'll not delay you any longer.  Go ahead and start looking at
  the great software on this CD-ROM disc.  It is our hope that
  you'll find at least one program that will solve a problem,
  make your life easier, fill a need you've had for a while, or
  just give you hours of enjoyment!

  Sincerely,
  Richard G. Harper
  President, Association of Shareware Professionals
