~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Electrical Design Software is a New Hampshire based company
that was established in 1992. Our organization's primary objective
is to produce quality software, at a reasonable price.
DEBT COLLECTOR 2.0 requires no special computer knowledge, and
is designed to accommodate both the amateur and professional user.
Context Sensitive Help Screens have been programmed into this
application in order for you, the user, to continue working
quickly and efficiently.
Most importantly, here at Electrical Design Software, YOUR
comments are considered essential, for the development of future
software products. With your input we can design programs that
will accommodate the financial profession and other specialized
fields.
DEFINITION OF SHAREWARE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software
before buying it. If you try a Shareware program and continue
using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ
on details -- some request registration while others require it,
some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get
anything from the simple right to continue using the software to
an updated program with printed manual.
Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and Commercial
software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a
few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are
accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the
programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are
good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method
of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy
and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
Shareware.
Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software.
You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook,
whether it's Commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes
fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy.
And because the overhead is low, prices are low also. Shareware
has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the
product, you don't pay for it.

that this software may be used by any number of people and may be
freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as
there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's
being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two
different persons at the same time.
Commercial users of DEBT COLLECTOR 2.0 must register and pay
for their copies of DEBT COLLECTOR 2.0 within 30 days of first use
or their license is withdrawn. Site-License arrangements may be
made by contacting Electrical Design Software.

remuneration must first contact Electrical Design Software at the

DEBT COLLECTOR FORMULAS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. The formula for calculating the interest per day is:
Principal X Interest Rate / 365 = Interest Per Day
Example:
A. A principal of $3000 X an interest rate of 10% = $300
interest per year.
B. $300 / 365 = $0.8219178 cents per day interest.
2. The formula for calculating the interest per month is:
A. $0.8219178 cents per day interest X 31 days = $25.479451
B. $25.479451 rounded = $25.48 interest for the 31 day month.
