Appreciate your reply Richard, thanks.
Yes, ASP seem to have been around for quite a while and as far as I can gather, are fairly well respected. Just wondered if the £50 approx membership is worth it... A quick skim of their pages leads me to think that their pdf resources might be worth it alone...
I agree with you that the term "shareware" has connotations like not being as professional and lesser quality than commercial "business-created" software. But I'd like to think that it's not as bad as it used to be and some positive connotations compared with commercial software is cheapness and possibly unusual, in the sense of being specialised for a particular task/s which perhaps a larger piece of software might not cover.
Thanks for the shareware authors website, I'll have a look at that in the near future; sounds interesting and useful.
Edit: unfortunately, that web address couldn't be found...
