AMORTZ, Version 1.60: The Easy Way to Loan Calculations
Keywords:
---------
LOAN FINANCE EASY MORTGAGE BANK SCHEDULES BUSINESS INTEREST FUN ASP
Category:
---------
General Utilities, Home Finance, Business, Finance, Utilities, ASP
Short Description:
------------------
Very easy to use financial loan calculation system. Designed to be
useful and understandable to everyone. Calculates any of the loan
variables (ie. principal, interest rate, payment amount or number of
payments) as well as generate a "payback schedule". Useful in "What If"
calculations to see how minor adjustments in interest or payment can
greatly affect interest paid. [ASP]
Long Description:
-----------------
AMORTZ is an extremely easy and fast tool used to calculate loan payment
amounts, interest rates, number of payments or current principal
amounts. Amortization schedules (sometimes called principal & interest
or loan payback schedules) can be printed, or displayed on monitor, by
year. Loan totals (principal & interest) are also just a keystroke
away. For business users, principal and interest are summarized by
fiscal year (defined by the user).
AMORTZ was designed to be useful and understandable, regardless of the
level of financial sophistication - from CPA's calculating a million
dollar deal to a teenagers determining monthly payments for that first
car. The entire process is menu driven with extensive error checking,
making the program very "user friendly".
AMORTZ - Vendor/Distributor Information Page 3 of 8
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
AMORTZ can easily be used to test various assumptions (usually called
"What If" calculations). Just change the payment amount and see how
much total interest is saved, or see how much more you can spend for
that new house if the interest rates drop a bit. Add $50.00 to your
current mortgage payment and see how you can dramatically save interest
and build equity much faster.
Registration Information:
-------------------------
AMORTZ registration is $10.00, including the most recent version on
disk, with free upgrades for a minimum of twelve months.

Free Vendor Update Program:
---------------------------
Most non-ASP vendors have standard procedures for acquiring new files.
They get them from other vendors, BBSs, etc. Most authors cannot afford
to mail disks to hundreds (perhaps thousands) of vendors. However, some
vendors prefer to obtain programs directly from the authors. If you
would like to obtain programs directly from us, automatically, then
please help us by participating in our Vendor Update Program.
To receive updates, simply send us a letter with your name, company
name, mailing address, the name of the person we should contact (such as
your disk librarian), the and the name of the program (or programs) for
which you would like to receive updates.
All vendors participating in our Vendor Update Program will automatic-
ally receive any NEW programs which we may release while their Vendor
Update Program is in effect.
The Vendor Update Program is intended to help us achieve maximum
distribution with a minimum of cost in as short a time-frame as
possible. If you have other standard ways to obtain programs, then you
may not want to use our Vendor Update Program.

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
