- You'll get support from the author, especially in your early days as a new user.
- You'll be notified of any upgrades. To date all upgrades to AscToHTM have been free to registered users. This means people who paid last year's price are getting this years software at a discount (plus they've had several years' use).
AscToRTF is fairly new, so it doesn't have the same track record yet.
- You'll be able to ask the author for new features. You won't always get them, but you'd be amazed at how much of the functionality arose directly from registered users party requests.
Finally...
- No splash screen, no nags and all limitations on the program (file size, number of file converted at one time etc) are removed
Originally I wanted to produce a fully-featured, but time-limited shareware version. However, for various reasons we've had to move to move to producing a largely-featured version with a 30 day time limit.
Sorry 'bout that.
At present the shareware version of the program expires 30 days after installation. Each time the program runs it will tell you how may days left you have.
There are other limitations of the shareware version :-
- If you don't register, it will cease to function properly after 30 days. Specifically after 30 days any conversions will convert all your text to random case. This will still allow you to evaluate the software, but the resulting RTF will be of little use to you.
- In the shareware version you're limited to only the first 500 lines of any source file. After 1000 lines a warning is placed in the output, and all subsequent lines are converted to upper case. This allows you to gain an impression of what the RTF will look like for evaluation purposes.
- In the shareware version, wildcard conversions are limited to only 5 files
- Certain other policies are not supported in the shareware version.
I don't like limiting the software, but people need reminding, so there you go.
Not this time.
AscToHTM is available free to FAQ maintainers (as a personal "thank you" form the author) and to OpenVMS users.
AscToRTF offers no such concessions.
First we recommend you try out the product to convince yourself that it meets your needs.
You've done that right?
Okay, visit the registration page and follow the instructions there. You can buy AscToRTF online using credit cards, or via snail mail. Credit cards are processed by a third party who contact us once payment is cleared.

E-mail any feedback to [email protected]. Sadly, we cannot guarantee any replies. OTOH, no-one who has ever emailed us has ever waited more than a day or so for a response (no holidays, you see :)
A limited amount of support is available to registered users by emailing [email protected]. Any enquiries should be directed to the same address.
Sadly, we cannot guarantee any replies, though we do try to be helpful. Priority is given to people who have registered copies.
