Amort, As Paid, DateCalc, and Weekdays
Amort is a program to print formatted amortization schedules. It will also calculate an unknown loan value if the remaining values are input. A bug involving the irregular first payment routine of Amort has been fixed (version dated 1/26/03 or later). New versions of Amort will now print the schedule on the screen as well as on the printer (Versions dated 6/25-26/03 or later)
AsPaid is an amortization program to use after loan payments have been made. When the dates and amounts of the loan payments made on the loan are input it will calculate the amounts of each payment applied to principal and interest, the unpaid principal balance, and accrued unpaid interest (if any). AsPaid will now correctly handle recalculation (version dated 11/11/02)
DateCalc does date math. It will calculate the ending date when a beginning date and number of days are input, will calculate the number of days between two dates, and will show the weekday of a date.
Weekdays does date math with weekdays. It will calculate the ending weekdate when a beginning weekdate and number of weekdays are input, and will calculate the number of weekdays between two weekdates.
The programs will run on Windows95, Windows98, and Windows98se. They are untested and should not be tried on other versions of Windows.
There are two versions of each program. They are functionally identical. One is coded in Visual Basic 5 (VB5), and one in Visual Basic 6 (VB6). They have a calendar, mouseover effects, and tool tips. The VB6 version has a pop-up menu that operates from the Help button.
All versions have a windows help file. All versions have installation programs and may be completely uninstalled after having being installed.

All of the programs are freeware.
One of you reported her download did not work until she disabled her download accelerator. You might try that if downloading doesn't work for you.

The installation files contain information screens about the programs. Detailed operating information is contained in the help files.
Please notice this correction to the help files. The help files give examples of date entries. All of them work on the computers on which these programs were initially tested. Another computer has given an invalid date message when a two digit year is entered (01 01 02). It requires a four digit year entry (01 01 2002). This does not seem to be a function of regional date settings and may be operating system dependent. In any event if you receive an invalid date message after date entry then try a different form of date entry.
