AmortView was developed to assist consumers in making informed decisions when either choosing a lender or analyzing and modifying an existing mortgage. Not only will this program calculate all available mortgage options available in the Canadian market, it will also allow for balloon payments, annual payment increases and benchmark comparisons. Your calculations then can be printed out for your records.
This copy is a fully functional demo than will run for 72 hours. If you find AmortView useful and would like to continue to use it, please fill out the registration form with a cheque or money order for $19.95/copy and receive a password to unlock AmortView. Registered users receive customer support, notices to future upgrades, and an opportunity to shape the direction of the program. There is a demand to be filled in the Mac community for flexible business/finance software utilities. We want to be a part of that growth!
Please note that AmortView is intended for Canadian Mortgages only!!
Mortgages are calculated differently in other countries (such as the US) and you will obtain inaccurate results.
You can use the online help or the ﾔManualﾔ text file for details on using AmortView.

Revision History
V 1.0:
･ Public Release Version.
V 0.9b7:
･ Fixed a bug the caused the program to crash if the page -up/down portion of the scroll bar was selected
and held with a mousedown event just below either the up or down scroll buttons of the Schedule
Window.
The crash occured when the thumb control arrived over top of the cursor.
･ Changed the code so that the Schedule Window doesn't update when the thumb control is clicked on,
but not moved.
･ Created an error alert for monitor depths greater than 8 - bit. GWorlds get too large.
･ Slowed down the animated scrolling so that people lucky enough to have fast Macs can actually
read the text.
･ Updated James Stout's CDEF package from V1.3 to V1.5. New look for various buttons plus more
efficient code.
･ Added a SND resource that fires when radio buttons are selected. I was told that this feature would add
$19.95 to the value of this program. :)
･ Fixed the help text initial offset.
V 0.9b6:
･ enlarged the principal text box in the calculator dialog box to prevent clipping of larger numbers
･ tightened up the code in the calculator file
V 0.9b5:
･ redesigned the print loop to eliminate copying from GWorld into the printport. Allows for
the use of outline fonts for printing and cuts 100K from the application heap.
･ raised the ceiling of allowable "minimum payment amounts" by modifying the error correction code.
Calculations using the previous minimum limits with low interest rates were creating 40+ year
mortgages.
V 0.9b4:
･ fixed justification error in the Help text
･ simplified the handling of keydown events in the schedule window
･ fixed bug in the enabling function of the Lock benchmark menu item
･ successful printing job now properly restores the schedule window
･ realigned the text in the print headers
V 0.9b3:
･ fixed the schedule window so that it probably positioned itself on monitors larger than 13"
･ corrected a window refreshing error in the schedule window
