GENEBIT LOAN CALCULATOR LITE(tm) Version 1.50
Program Information
This short text file contains excerpts from the Genebit Loan Calculator Lite
program documentation. The complete program documentation can be printed out
from within the program itself.
INTRODUCTION:
Q. What is the GENEBIT LOAN CALCULATOR LITE ?
A. It's a powerful loan calculator program that you can use to analyze
loans such as mortgages, car loans, business loans, and personal loans.
Q. There are plenty of loan calculators already available. Why should I be
interested in this one?
A. Here are several reasons:
* It's extremely EASY TO USE. New computer users can use it
immediately, and experienced users will appreciate its intuitive
operation. It fully supports a mouse, yet a mouse is not required.
* It requires MINIMAL INFORMATION. You provide the loan amount, the
interest rate, and the number of years. It tells you what the payments
will be, how much total interest will be paid, and what the total cash
outlay is. Press a key and this summary information is printed. Press
another key and a detailed amortization (loan payoff) table is printed.
Printer output can be redirected to a file if desired.
* "What if..." questions are quickly and easily answered. See
immediately what effect a different interest rate or loan duration will
have. With this program, you can quickly zero in on loan terms that are
BEST FOR YOU in the privacy of your own home prior to meeting with a
loan agent. You'll know in advance what to expect and can make a wise
decision from among the various options available.
* It's FREE. That's right, you may use the GENEBIT LOAN CALCULATOR
LITE for as long as you wish at no charge whatsoever. You do not need
to register the program to use it, and are under no obligation for
anything. We encourage you to share the program with others, but since
it is free you may not charge them anything for it.
* It's FULLY FUNCTIONAL. No critical program functions are disabled,
and the program has no internal time limits or other nasty surprises.
* It supports INTERNATIONAL CURRENCY, including US dollars.
REQUIREMENTS: IBM-PC or compatible with 384k RAM, DOS 2.x or higher.
BACKUP: The first thing you should do is backup all files to a
floppy disk to prevent loss of the program due to accidental
erasure or other mishap. You can use the DOS Copy command to
accomplish this.
INSTALL: After backup, you can install the program by simply copying all
the files to the destination disk that the program is to be run
from. You may need to include the destination directory name in
a PATH statement inside your AUTOEXEC.BAT file if you have not
already done so.
OPERATE: To start the program, type LOANL and then press the Enter key.
COMMAND LINE OPTIONS:
The following command line options are supported:
/D - Prints out the program _Documentation and then halts the program.
/Lxx - Sets the number of _Lines per page for printouts to xx lines.
The default is 60 lines.
/M - Forces the program to use _Monochrome colors for improved
visibility on monochrome or LCD displays.
/N - Causes the printer output to be directed through DOS instead of
directly to BIOS. Useful for printing over a _Network.
/Pxxxx - Redirects the _Printer output to the file xxxx. Note xxxx can be
any valid DOS file name, and can also be PRN, LPT1, LPT2, etc.
The default is LPT1.
VIEWING THE DOCUMENTATION:
Should you wish to view the entire program documentation on your screen prior
to printing it, enter the following command at the DOS prompt:
LOANL/D/PLOANL.DOC
This command causes the program to print the program documentation to the
ASCII text file LOANL.DOC . You may then view this file using a text editor
or file viewing utility.
