Version 2.1 provides many enhancements and bug fixes over Version 2.0x.
These include:

  1. Improved file load menu (drive names added).
  2. Deferred principal added as a computed field.
  3. Computed field name is highlighted.
  4. Single years can be selected for printing an amortization table.

     be moved to the next input field.

  7. Erratic initial payment dates bug in DISPLAY mode fixed.
  8. Fixed bug that caused deferred principal interest not to be added when
     computed field is Duration.
  9. Fixed bug that caused UAE in crash Windows on some PC's when NOEMS 
     switch used with EMM386.EXE in CONFIG.SYS.
 10. Invalid payment dates bug when semimonthly payments selected and initial
     payment date is the 30th of a 31-day month fixed.
 11. Mouse pointer display problem with Microsoft mouse driver V8.2
     (distributed with Windows 3.1) fixed.
