	You may start the program from a floppy drive by typing LOAN1
	[Enter]. To install the program files on your hard disk, place the
	program disk in a drive and log onto that drive by typing A: [Enter]
	or B: [Enter]. Then type INSTALL C: [Enter] for the C: drive or
	INSTALL D: [Enter] for the D: drive.

	The INSTALL program will make a sub-directory on the hard drive
	called \LOAN1 if one doesn't exist and will copy the program files
	to the \LOAN1 directory. Outdated program files that may exist will
	be over-written with new files. When finished, your system will log
	onto the \LOAN1 directory. Type LOAN1 [Enter] to start the program.
	Print out the manual and follow the sample loan all the way through
	to gain a working understanding of The Loan Accelerator. Press [F1]
	at every point in the program where you are asked to enter infor=
	mation. Reading the help messages really will help!

	The Loan Accelerator is unique due to the suggestions and support
	I have received from you, the customer, since starting in 1984. I
	am dedicated to bringing you the absolute best in loan analyzing
	software. I hope you enjoy and benefit from these improvements
	and that you will recommend The Loan Accelerator to your friends.

	Our latest Professional Version 4.O holds an improvement aimed
	squarely at those of you who decide, for fun or profit, to analyze
	loans for friends and clients. Now you can customize your printouts
	by adding your business name, address and phone numbers plus any
	message or disclaimer on the first page plus a custom footer on the
	chart pages. Makes for great business advertising.

	Please show your appreciation and support for our efforts by
	licensing your program with CompuLoan or purchasing Professional
	Version 4.O. Our support comes solely from you, the user. As you
	accelerate your loans and save thousands of dollars, don't let our
	efforts toward encouraging you to get started, go unrewarded.

	Thank you for trying The Loan Accelerator. Your support has made
	this major update possible. I am nearing completion of a new
	program that will allow you to keep track of payments being made on
	a loan no matter how out of shape they get. You will be able to
	print payment coupons to send to a borrower or lender each payment
	period. Disputed loans can be quickly and accurately resolved with
	The Loan Tracker (C) 1993 by CompuLoan.

	If you are interested in The Loan Tracker, look for it on the
	order form.


			      Sincerely yours,
