ACTUARIAL MODELER FOR OS/2 WARP
General Description
An actuarial program for valuing many
types of annuities and pension benefits,
including immediate and deferred
single and joint life pensions that may
have various associated guarantees and
death benefits.
This version is public domain freeware
and has the capability of valuing
annuities and pensions based on general
mortality levels in the Canadian
population (which are roughly equivalent
to general levels in the United States).
Installation Instructions
To install, move all of the enclosed files
to a working directory or diskette and run
the command:
INSTALL
Actuarial Modeler for OS/2 Warp does not
change or make any entries in any system
or .INI files, but will rather create its
own .INI file (called ACTUARY.INI) when
run.
Should You Have any Problems
One assumption that has been made is that
your the LIBPATH variable in your CONFIG.SYS
file has an entry for the current directory
(usually denoted by a ';.;' substring)
If this is not the case, then you'll either
have to add it manually, or move the file
ACTUARY.DLL to the directory where other
system files are found.
I strongly suggest that you create a
desktop icon for Actuarial Modeler during
the install process and then move it to
the folder of your choice (with perhaps a
shadow on the LaunchPad).
Miscellaneous
Actuarial Modeler was developed on a 486
with 16 megs of memory, but should run
fine on a machine with 8 megs of memory.
With only 4 megs of memory there may be a
bit of swapping going on :).
For printouts and listings, everything
seems to work OK on my HP Laserjet and has
been tested with the IBM ProPrinter X24 driver
that comes with Faxworks for OS/2.
I've used fairly general printer methods, but
there may be something I've missed on some
other types of printers.
Should you have any comments, suggestions,
difficulties, or ideas for any new functions
that could be added, I'd really appreciate
any feedback.
