What is shareware?
Shareware is a marketing concept in which copyrighted software
products are distributed by allowing duplication of the program for
evaluation by interested parties. The program developer receives
payment from the users after they have determined that the product
meets their needs. The motivations for making payment for a
shareware program are honest payment for a valuable software tool,
desire for support, updates, enhancements and documentation, and
finally to help encourage shareware authors to produce additional
quality programs.
What happens when I register?
Mustang Software believes that a registration of one of our
shareware products is a commitment of support from an end user.
Every registration of every Mustang Software product is followed by
an immediate acknowledgment and shipment of the latest version of
the program and documentation. Orders are shipped UPS 2nd day air
on the same day payment is received. Registration has additional
advantages as well. Mortplan includes printed, expanded
documentation, a personal registration number for serializing your
copy with your company name, and updates at low or no cost.
Registered users are placed on our mailing list and receive
automatic notifications of all updates and future product releases.
Will my registration matter?
YES! Mustang Software employs Programming, Technical Support and
Administrative Staff on a FULL TIME basis. Your registration
ensures that we can continue to grow, improve our product, and be
here when you call for support. Without registrations we could not
remain in business to SERVE YOU! If MORTPLAN meets your needs as a
loan analysis program, we encourage you to support the shareware
concept by sending in your registration. See the Registration form
at the end of this documentation for details.

functions will be explained later in this manual.
When entering numbers in MORTPLAN you do NOT have to put in the
decimal point when entering a whole number. You are allowed to
insert commas during data entry in an amount for clarity, but they
are automatically supplied by the program if omitted.

activate the help screen.

automatically take you to your selection. If you accidently hit
the wrong key, don't
