LPSCI.COM Software - Amortize

Amortize is a loan/savings calculator with the ability to create schedules and make adjustments to them. Specifically, it allows you to:

• calculate the Initial Principal, Length, Interest Rate, Payment, and Future Value (savings only) for a variety of payment and compounding frequencies
• create amortization and savings schedules
• instantly change the starting date of schedules
• instantly add extra payments at arbitrary intervals to schedules and see how much time and money was saved
• instantly add withdrawals at arbitrary intervals to savings schedules only and see how much money was lost
• instantly change the interest of schedules at any time and see how much money was saved or lost
• instantly remove any of the extra payments, withdrawals, and interest changes

There are Windows versions for Windows 3.1 and up and for Windows 95/98/NT. There are Java applet and application versions for the initial version of Java, version 1.0.2, and for Java 1.1. The Windows versions and the Java class and jar files for the applet and applications can be downloaded from the client download page.

The difference between the Java and Windows application versions of this program is that the Windows programs run faster and fully support printing. The Java 1.0.2 version of the application does not support printing while the Java 1.1 version supports limited printing. All application versions support saving and opening schedules, while of course, the applet versions do not.

The Windows 3.1 version was compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 1.0. The Windows 95/98/NT version was compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 5.0. The Java 1.0.2 class files were compiled with Microsoft Visual J++ 1.0. The Java 1.1 files were compiled with Sun JDK 1.1.8.

The Java 1.0.2 applet version of Amortize has been tested thoroughly with both Netscape Navigator 3.0 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0, and it performs adequately with Netscape Communicator 4.0x and Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0. The Java 1.1 applet version has been tested with Netscape Navigator 4.7 and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0; surprisingly, it runs much better with IE50. It is supported by Netscape Navigator 4.5 and up and Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 and up. The Java 1.1 applet loads much faster with a modem connection than the Java 1.0.2 version.
