TVM program update

[fhub]

Hi,

inspired by Salvo's thread about "odd periods" in financial TVM calculations I've now also implemented this HP-12C feature
in my new version of TVM-Calc Pro - but even in a much more flexible way:

1) Instead of entering a decimal number for N (where the fractional part means the odd period), there's a separate entry (-nPV) for the odd period of PV. This doesn't limit the odd period to a value<1, but the PV can even be a few periods before date 0 (i.e. before the PMTs start) - something that's not possible in HP's financial calculators.

2) If there's an "odd period" between PV and date 0 (start of PMT periods), then why shouldn't there also be an "odd period" for FV, i.e. a delay between date N (end of PMT periods) and the final value/payment FV!?
So I've also added an entry (+nFV) with just this meaning, i.e. how many periods FV is after date N (also not possible with usual financial calculators).

3) And of course you can choose between compound ('Expon.') and simple ('Linear') interest during these "odd periods".

If anyone is interested in this new TVM-Calc Pro version - just download it from my website:

(BTW, there's no longer a separate 'Netbook' version included, because this new 'Pro' version automatically detects a too small screen size, and uses a scrollbar instead of a larger window for the 'CashFlow' mode).
