There is an error in the Loan Amortization program which causes some compilers
to reject it: on line 113, "monthly_int" should be "monthly_rate".
 
C compilers which ignore all but the first eight characters of variable names
(cf. Kernighan & Ritchie, p. 33) accept the program as originally posted; the
two names are effectively the same.  Those which use the entire name complain
that "monthly_int" is undefined.  (Mine, obviously, is one of the former.)

Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause; also, thanks to Andrew Lantz for
bringing the error to my attention.
