Things you need to know:
1) The date shown on the printed report as the date printed is the
system date. You can set or change it with the DOS command DATE. You
must however exit PC-loans to do this. Look up the DATE command in
your DOS manual.
2) If you get garbage on the screen, you must install the ANSI.SYS
device driver.
To do this you must have a file called CONFIG.SYS on your
boot disk. This file must have the following line somewhere.
device=ansi.sys
It matters not whether it is the first, second, or thirty third
line in the file. If you already have the file CONFIG.SYS on your
boot disk, you can edit it to add this line. If it is not there,
you can create it with your word processor using the ASCII mode,
or (heaven forbid) you can use the DOS editor EDLINE.
****************************************************************
IF YOU USE A WORD PROCESSOR, BE SURE TO USE THE ASCII TEXT MODE.
If you save the file in a non ASCII format DOS most likely will
not be able to read it when your system boots.
****************************************************************
You must also have the file ANSI.SYS on your boot disk. If it is
not there, you can find it on your original DOS disk. It is standard
equipment with all MS-PC-DOS machines. If you cannot find it, contact
your dealer. You paid for it. You should have it.
This driver is installed when the system is booted up. Thus you must
reboot the system for it to become effective.
If all this fails, read the DOS manual. Look in the index for config.sys
and ansi.sys.
3) If you don't like the name of the program, you can change it
to any name you like by using the DOS rename command like this.
A:>RENAME PC-LOANS.EXE NEW-NAME.EXE
or A:>RENAME AMORTIZE.EXE NEW-NAME.EXE
The characters before the period may be any eight (or fewer)letters
or numbers. Most other characrers will work but the period "." will
not. The three characters after the period MUST BE "EXE".
5) PC-loans is the public domain version of AMORTIZE. You may, and are in
fact encouraged to distribute it to friends, associates, and clients.
the public domain version is called pc-loans. The professional version
is called amortize. If you distribute copies of the public domain
version, they shoud be named PC-LOANS, and this file must be included.
Do not change the name.
