- ===== Information for Users ("READ-ME") ================
-
- March, 1996
-
- Thank you for trying AMORTZ! I am sure that you will find this program
- effective and very easy to use. I welcome your comments (complaints,
- suggestions, bug reports, etc.) and will respond to every one that I
- receive. Please see the file "AMORTZ.DOC" for information regarding how
- to contact me.

- --Jim Bowyer
-
- AMORTZ for DOS is a VERY easy to use financial loan calculation system.
- It was designed to be useful and understandable to everyone, from
- teenagers trying to swing a loan for that first car to CPA's working on
- million dollar deals.
-
- AMORTZ will easily and quickly calculate any of the loan variables
- (Principal, Interest Rate, Payment Amount, or Number of Payments). It can
- then generate an amortization schedule (or "Payback" schedule) showing
- the principal and interest portion of each payment by due-date. The
- schedule is summarized by year and can be viewed on the monitor (with the
- ability to scroll forward or backward by year) AND/OR a hard-copy report
- can be printed (which can be used as a handy payment log). The schedule
- can also be saved to an ASCII file on disk.
-
- AMORTZ supports variable interest, accelerated payments, balloon
- payments, five types of payment plans, and can reflect ANY change to ANY
- payment through the life of the loan. This version includes the ability
- to save and later re-load data. Headings on printed reports are fully
- customizable by you (include your company name or the name of a client!);
- printed report layout and totals are also customizable. If needed,
- annual totals can be presented by Fiscal Year (also selected by you).
-
- AMORTZ can also easily be used for "What If" calculations because it can
- instantly calculate loan totals to show how much cash will be required
- over the life of the loan. Just add $50.00 to your mortgage payment (for
- example) to see how many thousands of dollars can be saved over the life
- of the loan (not to mention paying the loan off YEARS earlier).
-
- The entire package is menu driven and includes extensive error-checking,
- making it very "user friendly". AMORTZ runs on all IBM compatible systems
- and does not require color or special graphics. The program is very
- compact and can easily be run from either a hard or "floppy" disk. (Hard
- drive is recommended).

- ===== Installation =====================================
-
- The installation procedure for AMORTZ is quite simple. The package
- includes a program, "INSTALL.EXE", which automates the entire process.
- You will need about 620,000 bytes of available disk space on the hard
- drive on which you plan to install AMORTZ.
-
- The exact steps you need to take will depend on how you received AMORTZ.
-
- INSTALLING FROM DISKETTES
-
- To install from a diskette, you need to perform the following steps.
-
- o Place the AMORTZ distribution diskette in the appropriate
- diskette drive.
-
- o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program on the distribution diskette.
- For example, if the distribution diskette is on drive A:, type
- the MS-DOS command, "a:install".
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
- the AMORTZ files to that directory. It will make no other changes;
- specifically, it will not modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys
- files.
-
-
- INSTALLING FROM A HARD DRIVE
-
- If you downloaded AMORTZ from a BBS (or received it in the form of
- archive files from some other source), you will need to perform the
- following steps.
-
- o Extract the contents of the archive file in a temporary
- directory on your hard drive. The procedure for doing this
- varies, depending on the form in which you received the package.
- In all likelihood, the fact that you are reading this text means
- that you already have the necessary tools and knowledge to
- perform this step. If not, you should be able to obtain
- directions for this from the same source from which you received
- the package.
-
- o Execute the "INSTALL.EXE" program which you have extracted. For
- example, if the temporary directory into which you have extracted
- the AMORTZ package is C:\TEMPDIR, you would execute the MS-DOS
- command, "c:\tempdir\install".
-
- o Follow the instructions presented by the installation program.
- You will have a chance to approve installation before any changes
- are actually made to the contents of your hard drive. The
- program will ask you for a destination directory, and will copy
- the AMORTZ files to that directory. It will make no other changes;
- specifically, it will not modify your autoexec.bat or config.sys
- files.
-
- When you're satisfied that the installation was successful, you should
- delete the temporary directory FROM which you installed AMORTZ
- (C:\TEMPDIR, in the above discussion), including all its contents.
-
-
- YOU'RE READY TO GO
-
- Once you've complete the installation, you should consult the documents
- which have been installed. In particular, read at least the "Fast Start"
- sections of the file AMORTZ.DOC. That document will tell you how to
- invoke the program, and will give you other information you need to
- properly evaluate AMORTZ. We hope you enjoy the program.
