The Loan Chief Lite - Program Overview
Loan calculating has never been this easy! Loan Chief is a financial software
program designed with ease and flexibility in mind. It comes complete with a
variety of loan tools for calculating Loan Amortization Schedules, Loan
Charts and Loan Calculators for solving for missing values. Each financial
tool contains a variety of options to allow maximum flexibility.
The Loan Amortization tool allows variable payments, interest rates and
compounding methods. Professional schedules can be generated with monthly,
quarterly, semi-annual or annual detail. Special options are available to
illustrate the savings incurred with an early payoff of a loan. Several
predefined acceleration methods are available in addition to a variable
payment which allows optimum flexibility. Accelerated schedules can be
illustrated side by side with the original schedule. Another special option
is the ability to show tax savings with mortgages.
The Loan Chart tool produces a chart of loan values based on the criteria
you select. You select the type of loan values you want computed--it may
be loan payments, loan principal amounts, months in a loan or the interest
rate. Once you choose what you want to solve for, you enter one of the
remaining loan values as a constant and the other two as a range of values.
A chart is produced solving for all loan values specified in the ranges.
Loan Chief is a menu driven program that also contains an on-line manual and
individual help for each input to allow the user to easily navigate and
understand the program. Configuration options are available for selecting
screen colors and printers.

What is Shareware?
Shareware is a marketing concept in which copyrighted software products
are distributed by allowing and encouraging duplication of the program
for evaluation by interested parties. As a recipient of a shareware
program, you are granted the right to use the program for a short period
to determine if it meets your needs. The program developer receives
payment from the users after they have determined that the product meets
their needs. The motivation for making payment for a shareware program
is honest payment for a valuable tool, desire for support, updates,
enhancements and documentation, and to help encourage shareware authors
to produce additional quality programs.
