MONEY MATH<TM>, Shareware Version 2.1, <ASP>
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
MONEY MATH for Windows, v2.1 <ASP>, brings you a comprehensive set
of financial analysis tools in one package. No need for a different
program for each calculation you want to do. Money Math has 17
different dialog boxes that perform over 50 financial calculations.
Look at the following generic calculations available:
Simple Interest
Bank Discount
Compound Interest
Annuities: Loan, Save, Lease, Sinking Fund
Bonds: Corporate, Treasury
Date Arithmetic
Certificate of Deposit
Discounted Cash Flow
Loan Amortization (Schedules)
Specialized Worksheets perform multiple generic calculations to do the
following complex tasks:
Refinance Mortgage
Prepay Mortgage
Purchase Mortgage
Income from Savings (Retirement Planning)
Your calculation results can be easily edited, printed, or saved to a
file. Money Math gets financial mathematics under control!
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
Money Math requires, as a minimum, an IBM AT or compatible computer with
Windows 3.1, Windows 3.11, or Windows '95 installed and running. The
current memory in your computer should be adequate if you are able to
use other Windows applications satisfactorily. The hard disk space
needed is less than 400 kilobytes. Money Math will not run with Windows
3.0.
INSTALLING MONEY MATH
You will probably receive Money Math in one of two ways. In the first
way, you will have a floppy disk with the nine individual files listed
below:
MONYMATH.EXE - Money Math executable for Windows 3.1 or greater
MONYMATH.HLP - Money Math help for Windows 3.1 or greater
REGISTER.TXT - Registration form for Users
README.TXT - Getting Started Documentation (this file)
MEDIA.WRI - Quick start for Money Math and for Media use
INSTALL.EXE - Installation Program for Money Math
FILE_ID.DIZ - BBS description of Money Math
VENDOR.TXT - (use VENDINFO.DIZ for all information)
VENDINFO.DIZ - BBS/Vendor/Distributor information
If you have a disk with the nine files, use the instructions given in
the section below titled, "USING THE INSTALL PROGRAM".
The second way to receive Money Math is in a compressed file or archive.
The compressed file name should be MOMATH4.xxx where "xxx" indicates
which file compression utility was used. In this case, use the
suggestions given in the section titled, "INSTALL FROM A COMPRESSED
FILE".
If you prefer to install Money Math manually, copy the first five files
listed above to the directory of your choice. Using Windows 3.1 or
3.11, create five icons and install them in the Windows Group of your
choice by using the Program Manager "File" menu and selecting "New...".
Using Windows95 or later, create a "Start" menu item by adding a folder
called "Money Math" in Windows\Start Menu\Progams\ folder. Now, add five
"shortcuts" to the "Money Math" folder for the five files you copied to
the directory of your choice above.
USING THE INSTALL PROGRAM
To install Money Math, start up Windows and put the Money Math floppy
disk in Drive A. Follow the directions in the sections below depending
on which version of Windows you are using:
Windows 3.1 or 3.11
From the Program Manager "File" menu, select "Run". Type "A:INSTALL" in
the dialog box that appears. After you press "ENTER" or click on the
"OK" button, the Install program will start on the floppy drive. If you
are installing from B drive, substitute the letter B for the letter A
above.
Windows95 or later
From the "Start" menu select "Run". Type "A:INSTALL" in the dialog box
that appears. After you press "ENTER" or click on the "OK" button, the
Install program will start on the floppy drive. If you are installing
from B drive, substitute the letter B for the letter A above.
The Install program will copy the Money Math files to a new directory
titled "MONEY" on your hard drive (C:). You will have an opportunity to
revise the directory and installation location. Click on the "OK"
button or press the "ENTER" key to start the file transfer to the
directory you selected.
Using Windows 3.1 or 3.11, the Install program will also create a
Windows Group named "Money Math" and put the Money Math icons in that
group. You may move the Money Math icons to another group later if
desired.
Using Windows95 or later, a menu item titled, "Money Math" will be added
to the "Start Menu" with five "shortcuts" to the files listed above.
INSTALL FROM A COMPRESSED FILE
If you received Money Math as a single file such as MOMATH4.ZIP, copy
this file to a temporary directory on your hard disk. Next, decompress
the file using a decompression utility program. The DOS command might
be PKUNZIP MOMATH4.ZIP if that compression utility was used to compress
the file. Several other compression/decompression utilities are in
common use. You can probably obtain the correct utility from the same
place you obtained the Money Math archive.
If the Money Math archive file name is MOMATH4.EXE, you decompress it
by running it from your temporary directory as you would any DOS
program. No other utilities are needed.
Once the archive file is decompressed, you should have the nine files
listed above in your temporary directory. Now you can install Money
Math as described above in the section titled, "USING THE INSTALL
PROGRAM". Instead of typing "A:INSTALL" in the "Run" dialog box, you
would type, "C:\TMP\INSTALL", where C:\TMP is the current hard drive and
directory where the nine files are located.
UNINSTALL MONEY MATH
Windows 3.1 or 3.11
First delete each icon in the Money Math Group by selecting it and then
pressing the 'Delete' key. When all the icons are gone, delete the Group
by pressing the 'Delete' key.
Next, from the File Manager, delete the directory containing the Money
Math files. First, select the directory and then delete it by pressing
the 'Delete' key. Money Math does not put any files in other
directories.
Windows95
Using Explorer, delete the directory containing the Money Math files.
First, select the directory and then delete it by pressing the 'Delete'
key. Money Math does not put any files in other directories.
To remove the, "Money Math" item from the, "Start" menu, move to the,
Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ folder using Explorer. Expand the folder
by clicking on the "+". Now, click on the, "Money Math" folder and press
the delete key.
RUNNING MONEY MATH
To start Money Math, double-click the mouse on the Money Math icon for
Windows 3.1 or 3.11. For Windows95, from the "Start" menu, select
"Programs". Now select "Money Math" from the menu and again select
"Money Math" from the menu.
Selecting "Exit" from the "File" menu item closes Money Math. You can
also use the Alt+F4 key combination to do the same thing.
MONEY MATH DOCUMENTATION
All of the Money Math features are documented in Money Math Help. You
can select the "Help" menu item from within Money Math or you can double
click on the "Money Math Help" icon. Either way, the Windows Help
program will run Money Math Help.
