Emulation
Guides on emulating older applications

Before you could use online calculators for your mortage you had to go out and buy a software package such as "The Financial Cookbook". It offers a wide array of "what-if" formulas, such as

Single Savings Deposits
Monthly Savings Deposits
Deposit Needed for the Future Purchase
Living on your Savings
An IRA's Future Value
How much life Insurance do I need
Mortgage Schedule Yearly
Mortgage Schedule Monthly
Mortgages with Balloons
Buying vs. Renting a Home
Energy Saving Devices

And several more. You just fill in the blanks and will find out about e.g. the monthly payments on a mortgage if the interest reate goes up or down.

1st download is a disk image in Disk Copy 4.2 format. Copy protection prevents it from running.
2nd download is a flux-based disk image (A2R) captured with an Applesauce FDC. Its contents can be viewed using the Applesauce client software.
3rd download is the A2R flux image converted into WOZ format, suitable for writing back to another floppy disk with a 3.5" drive connected to an Applesauce FDC. This results in functional software, confirmed with a Macintosh Plus.
