                         THE DEBT ANALYZER (WINDOWS)

  HOPELESSLY IN DEBT?  Need a systematic way to rid yourself of it? The Debt
  Analyzer is the answer!  Now the techniques used by banks and credit
  counselors can be used in the comfort of your own home.  You can produce
  debt elimination and loan consolidation schedules which can illustrate
  hundreds of dollars in potential savings. How does debt elimination work?
  Each of your debts is given a priority. Each month, your payments are made
  to each debt.  Once one debt is paid off,then that payment is then applied
  to the highest priority debt.  This accelerates the payment on the highest
  priority debt.  The loan acceleration is what produces the interest
  savings.  Several options are available which can help accelerate and
  optimize your debt elimination schedule.  These include "using minimum
  payments", applying "extra payments" and selecting one of nine predefined
  "priority methods". The loan consolidation schedule is designed to take all
  your current debt information and combine it into a single new loan.  How
  does it work?  Loan consolidation assumes that the new loan has an overall
  lower interest rate than your existing debts.  This results in lower
  overall payments and less interest paid.  The Debt Analyzer allows you to
  create loan consolidation schedules and will determine the amount of money
  you can save by doing so.  A variety of options are available to tailor the
  loan consolidation to your specific needs.  These include the ability to
  specify the term or payment of the consolidated loan or the sum of all debt
  payments may be used as the consolidated loan payment.

  loan principal amounts, months in a loan or the interest rate.  Once you

                           SmartSum (Windows)

  SmartSum is a Windows based emulation of the traditional printing
  calculator / adding machine found in so many business environments all
  the way from the multi-national to the small office / home office.
  Anyone with a requirement to add up a sequence of figures, such as Visa
  slips or daily takings will instantly know how valuable a tally-roll
  with the ability to check back can be. However the Window's environment
  has also allowed us to add some very nice features that the traditional
  printing calculator simply cannot do. For example, you can go back and
  correct an entry that you keyed in wrongly, insert an additional item
  that you missed out, or delete an item you accidentally entered twice,
  none of which are possible with the traditional item. And SmartSum can
  (optionally) say the digits as you enter them too so there is no need to
  look up to ensure correct keying. Calculations can be titled, and saved
  and reloaded later for review, and the sequence continued. It may be
  that with this ability the requirement to actually print the tally-roll
  at the time will no longer exist, but of course that is possible if
  required using any Window's supported font.

  Subtotals can be incorporated and removed at will, and there is the
  ability to "tick-off" each entry when checking work. As with the
  traditional machine there is the ability to select a particular number
  of decimal places of accuracy. However, with SmartSum if you change
  the decimal accuracy the whole sequence of calculations is repeated
  and rounded at the new precision. A "currency" mode is also available
  which assumes two decimal places and automatically inserts the decimal
  point at the correct place.  "Tax" buttons makes the calculation of
  sales taxes simplicity itself. Given a Tax-Exclusive price you can
  calculate the Tax-Inclusive price, or vice-versa. A macro facility is
  provided which allows the recording of repetitive calculations, and a
  number of useful macros such as unit conversions are provided.  There
  is an interface to Excel or any other spreadsheet, and clipboard
  support to allow copying of the tally roll to another application. The
  colors used by SmartSum are also configurable. There is a comprehensive
  Help File, and unlike the calculator applet supplied with Windows
  SmartSum can correctly calculate 2.01-2.0 !
