> PURPOSE OF THIS PROGRAM
> -----------------------
>
>     The purpose of this program is to calculate standard mortgage
> payments given a principal amount, interest rate and number of payments.
> It also displays the full mortgage schedule and allows you to add extra
> principal to selected periods making changes in the schedule
> accordingly.
>
>     Other features include:
>
>          + Full mouse support
>          + Up to nine simultaneous full schedule windows, useful to
>            compare different mortgage alternatives. You can resize the
>            windows or drag them around with the mouse.
>          + Ability to save the active schedule to disk, or to load a
>            schedule from disk. Printing to printer of to a file is
>            supported although nothing fancy should be expected in this
>            department.
>          + Some of the gadgets included in Borland International's Turbo
>            Vision library are incorporated here: calculator, puzzle,
>            mouse settings. The calendar is my own creation.

> SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
> -------------------
>
>    This program works with IBM AT 286 (or higher) PC's or 100%
> compatible, MS-DOS 3.3 or higher and at least 200K of free memory.
> To load the program you need 170K but as you open windows more memory
> is used. A mouse is not required but IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The
> same goes for a color monitor.
>
>
>
> INSTALLATION
> ------------
>
>     Very simple: copy all the included files to a directory of your
> choice. The three program files (MORT.EXE, MORT.OVR and MORT.BRS)
> MUST be in the same directory.
>
>
> NOTE ABOUT THE NAME
> -------------------
>
>     When I was developing this program, I wanted to name it "Mortgage".
> Since I had another file with the same name, I cut the name short to
> "Mort" thinking that I would change it latter. However, I decided to
> leave it at "Mort" because this program has a strong connection with
> death:
>
>     + I will probably pay a mortgage until I die.
>     + Every time I make a mortgage payment, I feel like dying.
>     + It is deadly boring to spend time dealing with mortgages.
>
>                       *      *      *

>    This program is distributed as "shareware". This means that you can
> try it for a while (approximately one month) free of charge. If you want
> to keep it and use it, then you must pay me a registration fee of $25.00.
> You can send your check to:
