	  APRCalc - A Windows Shareware Utility

Thanks for trying APRCalc!  APRCalc was meant to be a small
and simple payment calculator, and one that would allow the
user to investigate various loan scenarios quickly.

The four variables in an APR loan are the Amount Financed,
the Term, the APR, and the Payment; setting any three of
ethese determines the fourth.

Typically, the user enters a value for each of the three
known variables, and then click the "Calculate" button next
to the field which is to be calculated.  As each field is
entered, the user input is checked for validity (for 
example, the term of the loan must be a reasonable
counting number).  An amortization function, with the
ability to print a hardcopy, is provided as well.

A few options are included, such as the ability to watch the 
calculations progress (and to see the final, exact result) 
and to make the APRCalc window always stay on top.  The 
standard Windows "Cut/Copy/Paste" functionality is
supported.  All option settings, numerical values, and the
size and position of the windows can optionally be saved 
upon exit.  Quarterly, monthly, biweekly, and weekly
payment periods are supported.  You can save individual
scenarios in files and customize each with a different
color for quick identification.  A complete Windows Help
system is provided.

To install APRCalc, simply place "APRCALC.EXE" and 
"APRCALC.HLP" in the same directory - not necessarily 
the WINDOWS (in fact, I'd recommend against that; the
best thing to do is create an APRCALC directory).

APRCalc is not free software.  It is shareware, which means
you are expected to pay to register the program if you
continue to use it.  Your donation will encourage me to
write more Windows programs and improve existing ones.
To register your copy of APRCalc, please send $15 (along
with a filled out hardcopy of the ORDER.TXT file) to:

Thanks.
