- The AMORT distribution diskette, containing the
- program file and a text file including a copy of
- this manual, maybe copied and distributed upon your
- agreement to the terms in this document.
-
- Introduction:
-
- This program produces an amortization schedule for mortgage loans.
- It is extremely fast and is only slowed down when using the printer
- options. If you are going to use it regularly, I recommend using a
- print spooler. The input required has been reduced to a minimum in
- order to optimize the program speed, therefore the following
- assumptions are made:
-
- 1. There will be 12 payments made for each year in the life
- of the mortgage.
-
- 2. The interest rate on the mortgage is fixed for the
- duration of its term.
-
- Getting Started, and Some Hints
-
- Most programs are easier to understand than their
- accompanying documentation. Therefore, I suggest
- that you run the program, then look at this file
- later.
-
- Make a backup copy of your Amort disk, or program files (Check your
- D.O.S. manual on how you can format and copy a disk).
-
- To start Amort, at the DOS prompt (e.g. [A>]) where AMORT.EXE is
- stored, type AMORT<Enter>.
-
- When Amort is running, the user will be prompted for the following:
-
- 1. Principle Balance.
-
- Enter the original mortgage amount. Any amount up to
- $999,999,999.99, will be accept.
-
- Note:
- Do not use [$] or [,] in this field, use [.] for
- decimal point.
-
- 2. Interest Rate.
-
- Enter the annual interest rate for the mortgage. Any rate
- from 1.001 to 25.000 will be accepted.
-
- Note:
- This release of Amort handles only fixed rate
- mortgages.
-
- 3. Term In Years.
-
- Enter the life of the mortgage. The range for this field
- is 1 - 100 years.
-
- The above three items are the only input required by this program.
- The constant (monthly) payment is calculated by the program. In
- calculating the constant payment, Amort assumes that there will be
- twelve (12) payments for each year in the mortgage term.
-
- From this point on, all options are clear one-key stroke commands.
- From opening screen, press [S] to display amortization schedule on-
- screen. Or press [P] to print amortization schedule.
-
- If you only want to print a portion of the amortization schedule
- (e.g. payments 1-12), select [S] to display schedule on screen,
- then while the chosen payments are displayed, press [P] to print
- screen.
-
- Amort will display 22 payments and will pause between screens. If
- you choose, you may terminate the program by pressing [Q].
