Thanks Phil

I think only the Interest Calculation is requested often, the other was
as I see it an interesting scenario and a different way of doing it. If
I get more requirements I will let you know. My prospect said she want
the product next month, also she would like to run it past their
accountant. I am not to worried, however there might be some requests.

P.S. the user manual we are re-doing is looking good from what I've
seen, at last view 48 pages, and we still need to include images, revise
for version 2.8 and 2.9. Just takes time sorry for the wait. I have
requested that all manuals be finished by the end of the month.

Kind Regards
