Nelson Ford was one of the founders of shareware software distribution,
of HAL-PC (the Houston Area League of PC Users, a PC user group which
grew to over 10,000 members), of the Association of Shareware
Professionals, founder of the Public (software) Library, the largest
commercial library of public domain and shareware software, and of the
first major order processing service for shareware programmers. In
1984, through his shareware column in Softalk-PC magazine, he was
responsible for standardizing the use of the term shareware for
free-trial software. He wrote several shareware games: CardShark
Hearts, CardShark Spades, and CardShark Bridge Tutor. Nelson Ford was
inducted into the Shareware Hall Of Fame in August 2001.

Background
Nelson Ford was born in 1946 in San Antonio, Texas, USA. He served 4
years in the United States Marine Corps, 19 months in Viet Nam. He
graduated from the University Of Texas, Austin, with a BBA in
Accounting and moved to Houston, Texas where he met and married Kay
Hightower Ford. He became a Certified Public Accountant in Texas and
worked for Daniel Industries, Inc. and Pennzoil Company before forming
Public (software) Library. He and Kay are retired and living in Hot
Springs Village, Arkansas.
HAL-PC
In 1979, Nelson Ford got his first personal computer, a Radio Shack
Model II. In 1980, he got one of the first IBM-PCs available in Texas
and shortly after that helped start the Houston Area League Of PC
Users, which became the largest PC user group in the country with well
over 10,000 members.
User groups in other major cities were normally run by the few people
who had started the group, which tended to limit their growth. As
president of HAL-PC, Nelson Ford established a system of special
interest groups (SIGs) and had the leaders of the SIGs also serve as
HAL-PC's board of directors. With this source of new leadership for
HAL-PC and term limits for officers, HAL-PC was assured that no one
person or small group of people would run the group into the ground.
The SIGs also assured that all members could find something in HAL to
match their particular computer interests.
Association of Shareware Professionals
In 1985, Nelson Ford began working on a conference of shareware
programmers, bulletin board system operators, and shareware disk
distributors with the goal of creating an industry trade organization.
As a result of the attendance and hard work of such industry leaders as
Jim "Button" Knopf and Bob Wallace and many others, the Association of
Shareware Professionals was created. Nelson Ford served on the first
Board Of Directors. After more than 20 years, ASP is still a very
active, important organization for shareware professionals.
Public (software) Library
One of Nelson Ford's interest in the HAL-PC user group was swapping
public domain and shareware software with other members. He eventually
created a large, organized library of programs and his group made
copies for other members for a disk fee.
In 1984, Nelson Ford wrote a column named The Public Library in
Softalk-PC magazine. When people around the world were not able to get
programs discussed in the column because they lacked economical access
to bulletin board systems, they wrote to Nelson Ford asking for copies,
which he also made for a disk fee. This service quickly snowballed into
a full-time job, resulting in the creation of Public (software) Library
(PsL) to provide the service. Nelson's wife, Kay Ford, ran the
operation of PsL while Nelson ran the technical side.
Programmers who learned of the service sent their software to PsL to be
added to the library, eventually at the rate of hundreds of programs a
month. PsL hired technicians to test, review and write-up programs in
PsL's monthly magazine and annual catalog which grew to well over 1000
pages.
Eventually, as the volume of software increased and CD-ROM drives in
PCs became common, most of PsL's shareware distribution shifted to
CD-ROMs where many hundreds of programs could be put on each monthly
CD-ROM. During the boom years of shareware disk distribution, new
vendors were popping up all the time. As the CD-ROM and the Internet
took over, these disk vendors died out, thus leaving PsL the first
(1980) and most likely the very last (1997) company to distribute
shareware on diskettes.
Shareware Order Processing
In the 1980s and early 1990s, virtually no shareware authors had the
ability to accept credit card orders at all, much less via live
operators at toll-free numbers, the way most people are accustomed to
making such orders. Authors could only accept cash or checks mailed
directly to them. Naturally, this had...(and so on)
