AmortizeIT! v2.1s [rev. 03/31/95]
NOTE: BEFORE YOU INSTALL AmortizeIT! PLEASE EXIT ALL PROGRAMS. EXIT
WINDOWS. AND EXIT ANY DOS SHELLS. GO TO THE DRIVE THAT YOU WISH TO
INSTALL TO, FOR EXAMPLE C:\>. (YOU CAN RUN AmortizeIT! UNDER WINDOWS,
BUT IT IS EASIER TO INSTALL THE PROGRAM IF WINDOWS IS NOT RUNNING!)
THE SHAREWARE RELEASE IS NO LONGER DISTRIBUTED WITH AN INSTALL
PROGRAM. THERE ARE THREE REASONS FOR THIS. 1) THE INSTALL PROGRAM
TAKES UP ABOUT 50K AND WE DON'T THINK THAT IT IS NECESSARY FOR
PEOPLE WHO USE BBS's TO TAKE THE ADDITIONAL TIME TO DOWNLOAD IT.
2) DISK VENDORS LIKE TO PACKAGE SEVERAL PROGRAMS ON A DISK AND
OTHER PROGRAMS COULD CONFLICT WITH OUR INSTALL PROGRAM. 3) FINALLY
OUR PROGRAM IS SO SIMPLE TO INSTALL, YOU REALLY DON'T NEED AN
INSTALL PROGRAM.
Install Overview...
Basically, just copy either AMORT21.zip or AMORT21.exe to your
harddisk, unzip if necessary, and run 'AMORTIZE'.
Neither your CONFIG.sys nor your AUTOEXEC.bat need to be modified
in order to run AmortizeIT!.
Please see 'Manual Installation' below for details if you are not
familiar with how to do the above steps.
Microsoft Windows Users...
AFTER AmortizeIT! is installed on your hard disk, see the instructions
in the file WINDOWS.COM for details on how to run AmortizeIT! v2.1s
under Windows.
Hardware necessary to run...
To Install AmortizeIT!, you must have an DOS (IBM compatible) computer
with at least a 286 chip running DOS v2.1 or greater. You must have a
hard drive with at least 1mb of FREE disk space. You may run the
program on a 720K floppy, but you have to have a hard drive to install
it first. You also need 544k of free conventional RAM.
Upgrading From Earlier Versions...
If you are upgrading to this version of AmortizeIT! from an earlier
version, make sure that you install to a NEW directory on your hard
drive!! The data files that are created by this version of AmortizeIT!
are NOT compatible with versions prior to v2.0 (sorry). Therefore, you
may want to keep an earlier version of your program on the hard drive
until you reenter any loans that you might have been tracking.
*****************************************
MANUAL INSTALLATION (method 1 of 2)
(for AMORT21.zip)
If you don't have AMORT21.zip but rather AMORT21.exe, see install
method 2. This method assumes that you have a copy of PKUNZIP 2.04g
installed and in your DOS PATH.
To install AmortizeIT! using the manual method, we suggest that you do
the following:

C:\AMORT21>AMORTIZE <enter> Starts the program
** PKUNZIP.exe must be in your PATH.
*****************************************
MANUAL INSTALLATION (method 2 of 2)
(for AMORT21.exe)
If you received your copy of AmortizeIT! from a disk vendor (and not
downloaded from a BBS, then the program will come to you in a self
extracting, archive file. That is, you'll have AMORT21.exe and
NOT AMORT21.zip.)
To install the program:
Press

──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────

**************************
STARTING AMORTIZEIT!
You need the following files to run AmortizeIT!:
Amortize.exe main program file
Amortize.hlp help screens
Amortize.ovr overlay file to save memory
To start the program enter:
C: <enter> Change to drive where program was
installed
C:\>CD \AMORT21 <enter> Change to the directory were
the program was installed
C:\AMORT21>AMORTIZE <enter> Starts the program

===== Installation =====================================
See README.COM
===== Other Information ===============================
When you order a registered copy of AmortizeIT! directly from
Pine Grove Software, you will receive the following:
1) A disk with the latest copy of the program. (We are
constantly making small enhancements)
2) A high quality, spiral bound manual. It is perfect for when you

CompuServe Support. After one year, our toll free support
package is $19.95.
4) Notifications and discounts on future program updates.
5) Free diskette updates for any significant new version that is
shipped within 6 months of your initial purchase.
6) The utility program SLVSETUP.exe which allows you to change the
program's defaults to gain data entry efficiencies. For example,
if you are located in Canada, you may want to set AmortizeIT! so
that the program always selects the Canadian Amortization method as
its default.
7) The "Thank You" reminder message that appear on the shareware
version's print outs will be removed.

"Everything That You Wanted to Know About Money"*
*"But Didn't Know to Ask."
This is an ideal booklet to give away to that young family member
who is about to leave the nest or to a couple who about to
purchase their own home. "Everything That You Wanted to Know About
Money" is normally $12.95 but it is yours free when you purchase
the latest copy of AmortizeIT!
There is a great deal of information packed into this nearly 100
page booklet. Some of the topics covered are Home Mortgages:
where to shop and what to look for, the ins and out of refinancing,
mortgage lock-ins and settlement costs and what to do if your loan
is denied. Other topics include paying off a loan early, truth in
leasing, how to file a consumer credit complaint, lending and equal
treatment rules for financial institutions, fundamental facts about
money, endorsing a check and how to detect counterfeit money.
9) Additionally, you will receive, in writing, our famous FOREVER
BACK, MONEY BACK, ONLY TWO QUESTIONS ASKED**, GUARANTEE!! Should
you at ANYTIME, not be pleased with the performance of the most
recent version of our software, we will refund in full (less any
shipping charges) your original purchase price.
** As we said, we reserve the right to ask you two questions. And
those two questions are: 1) What did you not like about our
program? and 2) What program did you find that is better? Fair
enough, right?
(Offer of a refund is extended to customers who purchased the
registerd copy of the program directly from Pine Grove
Software with certain conditions with respect to the packaging and
the assumption that the registered user is using the most recent
version of the particular software. See printed warranty for
