INTRODUCTION.

with loan amortization schedules.
PCLOAN4 was designed by a retired bank president who has
negotiated, originated and collected over 30,000 commercial
loans.
PCLOAN4 is quite complete and will perform almost any
calculation needed for a business or personal loan which is
amortized in multiple payments.
PCLOAN4 has on line help for most functions but is designed
in such a manner that if you understand the loan, you will not
need much help to use the program.
PCLOAN4 is distributed on an unprotected floppy disk. It can
be copied to another floppy or to a hard disk with the DOS Copy
command.
