Read Me

This program is an amortization scheduler. It was especialy deveveloped
for particular features as they are standard in Austria. These features
my be also be a standard in Germany.

However: Because the standards needed in england or the U.S.A. are
completely unknown, this program currently speaks only german. There is
even no code for lacale management implemented, but it is planned for
future releases.

Currently, no documentation is available, but I'm working on it. This
release is a first beta version, made for financial experts to verify
loans.

If you like to contribute into this project, feel free to do so. You're
welcome.

CREATING CONFIGURE
==================

This version of Tilgungsplan is a maintainer version and comes with no,
or useless "configure"-script. To create one, use the following command:

   make -f Makefile.cvs

This creates all files necessary to run "configure". If you've
successfully created "configure", run it and then simply "make" to
create the executeable "tilgungsplan".

If you've checked out the files out of subversion, change into directory
"admin" and enter the following command on the command line:

   chmod 755 *.pl

Without this, you will get an error and "make" is not able to create
the "configure"-script.

ADDING DIALOG FOR DIFFERENT INTERESTS
=====================================

By default the application will be created without the possibility to
enter different interests over the maturity of the amotization scheduler.
To anable this, enter

   export CPPFLAGS=-D_ZINSAENDERUNG

on the command line before you start "configure". The necessary dialog
box will then be created and the feature will be enabled.

IMPORTANT!!
===========

This program is currently only a beta version and not verified to work
correct. It is possible, that you get strange results and your
amortization schedule may look wrong and possibly it is! So please
don't trust this program and ask the advisor in your lokal bank for a
correct amortization schedule!!
