This program is Shareware.
This means that you can copy this program to anyone you like, but if you
find the program useful, you should register, as explained below. This
entitles you to the latest version of this program, and of all my other
applications.
If you do copy the program it should be in its original format, with ALL of
the accompanying files. That is : !Boot

Purpose
-------
An application which calculates the interest on a variable sum of money
throughout the year, at varying rates of interest.
To use
------
Double click on the icon in the filer window to load the application. This
will install an icon on the icon-bar. Clicking menu on this icon will allow
you to look at the info about the program, to save the file, and to quit. To
actually get the program to do what it is supposed to, click select on the
icon to open up the main window or double click a previously saved file in
a filer window. A file can also be dragged from a filer window onto the
icon on the icon-bar. Either way, the main window will open. The window has
two sections. The left section is the area for the details about the
interest rates. Click select on one of the icons to enter a percentage rate
or the day it was introduced. The right section of the main window is the
area regarding the account details. Here it is necessary to enter details of
how much money was paid in and when. The dates MUST be in the format '1
January' (without the quotes). Case is irrelevent, however, and the program
only looks at the three leftmost characters - i.e. Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May,
Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec. Spacing is also not important, so
'1 January' would give the same result as '1 January' and as '1Jan', etc.
To save the file, click menu (the middle mouse button) on the main window or
on the icon on the icon bar. Go down to 'Save' and across. Here type in the
filename you wish to give your file, either specifying a full pathname, or
dragging the icon from the window to a filer window.
