- The Loan Chief Lite - Program Overview
-
- Loan calculating has never been this easy! Loan Chief is a financial software
- program designed with ease and flexibility in mind. It comes complete with a
- variety of loan tools for calculating Loan Amortization Schedules, Loan
- Charts and Loan Calculators for solving for missing values. Each financial
- tool contains a variety of options to allow maximum flexibility.
-
- The Loan Amortization tool allows variable payments, interest rates and
- compounding methods. Professional schedules can be generated with monthly,
- quarterly, semi-annual or annual detail. Special options are available to
- illustrate the savings incurred with an early payoff of a loan. Several
- predefined acceleration methods are available in addition to a variable
- payment which allows optimum flexibility. Accelerated schedules can be
- illustrated side by side with the original schedule. Another special option
- is the ability to show tax savings with mortgages.
-
- The Loan Chart tool produces a chart of loan values based on the criteria
- you select. You select the type of loan values you want computed--it may
- be loan payments, loan principal amounts, months in a loan or the interest
- rate. Once you choose what you want to solve for, you enter one of the
- remaining loan values as a constant and the other two as a range of values.
- A chart is produced solving for all loan values specified in the ranges.
-
- Loan Chief is a menu driven program that also contains an on-line manual and
- individual help for each input to allow the user to easily navigate and
- understand the program. Configuration options are available for selecting
- screen colors and printers.

- What is Shareware?
-
- Shareware is a marketing concept in which copyrighted software products
- are distributed by allowing and encouraging duplication of the program
- for evaluation by interested parties. As a recipient of a shareware
- program, you are granted the right to use the program for a short period
- to determine if it meets your needs. The program developer receives
- payment from the users after they have determined that the product meets
- their needs. The motivation for making payment for a shareware program
- is honest payment for a valuable tool, desire for support, updates,
- enhancements and documentation, and to help encourage shareware authors
- to produce additional quality programs.
