LoansMgr v2.4 README.1ST File
INTRODUCTION
Thanks for trying out LoansMgr! It is a powerful but easy to
use program for dealing with most consumer loan situations.
There is exhaustive documentation in the LOANSMGR.TXT file that
is included in this package. Please review the first few sections
of this file, for general information on the LoansMgr user
interface, and important legal disclaimers (see below). Other
information that may be of particular interest is information on
configuration, and command line usage.
LoansMgr is shareware. If you decide to keep it, you need to
register it! Please see the LOANSMGR.TXT file for details.
INSTALLING
Installing LoansMgr is easy. Start by unzipping the distribution file.
In it, you will find two executables:
a) lm_fpu.exe - this version assumes the presence of a floating
point unit, and will not operate on a PC that does not have one.
If run on a machine without floating point hardware, it will
freeze the PC, and a restart will be required to recover it.
b) lm_emu.exe - this version makes use of emulated floating point.
The executable is larger, and the program is slower, as a result
of the emulation, but this version should run on any PC.
Copy one of these two (dependant on your system's hardware) to some
directory on your PATH, and rename it to "loansmgr.exe". Copy the
LOANSMGR.INI file to one of (a) the same directory that the EXE
file was placed in, (b) the HOME directory (discussed below, in
"Configuration"), or (c) the directory from which you plan to
invoke LoansMgr.
If you have a directory in which you gather all of your shareware
documentation, copy the README.1ST and LOANSMGR.TXT files to that
directory.
Finally, it is advised that you set up an environment variable named
"EDITOR", which contains the name of an ASCII text editor capable of
displaying a file. If this variable does not exist, LoansMgr uses
the internal DOS TYPE command, which is a less than graceful file
viewer.
Just type "LOANSMGR" and you are off and running.
If you are feeling adventurous, there are several environment
variables that you can set up, and modifications you can make to
your LOANSMGR.INI file, to customize LoansMgr. See the LOANSMGR.TXT
file for details.
LEGAL STUFF
Please note that there is important legal information in the
LOANSMGR.TXT documenation file that is part of this package. You
must read this information before using LoansMgr for the first time.
