Program Title: CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATOR and BANKER and STOCK
PC-SIG version: 1.4

For the home handyman and amateur builder who likes to tackle major
projects, CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATOR provides a menu-driven aid for
estimating building project costs.  Estimation calculations are provided
for concrete footings, stem walls, and floor slabs; block and wood
walls; ceiling and floor joists; roof and floor sheeting; sheetrock; and
roof cut and stack.  Hardcopy of cost totals may be obtained by using
CONSTRUCTION ESTIMATOR's printout command.

BANKER is a swift financial program which computes just about anything
involving loans, savings, bonds, securities and credit.  Surpassing the
needs of most laymen, BANKER meets the majority of computational needs
of the finance professional.  BANKER computes commercial and installment
loans, savings, and general problems.  It provides information and
definitions of various financial instruments.

Under commercial and installment loans, you find the payment per period,
compute the principal, annual percentage rate, and find early payoff
amounts (rule of 78's).  Savings information includes the time required
to save a given amount, nominal to effective rates, and interest on
savings.  General applications are present value (simple interest),
present value (compound interest), and the present value of an annuity
in advance.  Calculations for bonds and securities offered are the yield
of discounted securities, yield-periodic interest payments, yield-
interest at maturity, future value (compound interest), future value of
an annuity, and a comparison of interest to discount rate.

STOCK tracks an unlimited number of stock portfolio files with up to 200
entries each.  Simple and easy to use, STOCK needs no manual.  The user
fills out basic information, and the program generates loss or gain
figures and annual and total per cent value changes.  STOCK record
keeping and evaluation meets most personal information needs including
tracking data required for income tax filing.
