Business Functions 1.52 is a convenient tool with 500+ high-performance functions which can help you analyze and plan your business. It is designed to make financial models such as business plans and budgets faster to build, less error-prone, and easier to understand and maintain. It does this through integrated families of functions, in particular for budgeting and cash flow projections.

One of the features is its day count accuracy when used for projecting cash flows.It has specific interfaces for both Excel 2007 and Excel 1997-2003, as well an expanded utility set that includes number formatting and a time chart wizard, allows partial view of C++ code via the Function Finder, and includes the consolidation tool Cashflow Administrator.

Major Features:

1. Flexibility
   • Project in either cash or accruals, by changing one variable (ProjMode).
   • Change the payment timing from quarterly to annual, calendar quarters or specified dates, again using one variable (Periods).
   • Change the timebase of your budget again by using just one variable (Base).
2. Accuracy
   • Many more DayCount options than Excel, covering all types of payment stream including rent, loans, bonds, and sales revenue.
   • Accurate date arithmetic using an advanced timeperiod description methodology (Time, Base, DayCount and Periods) ...
3. Projections Functions
   • This is the only library that provides specialist projections functions, which are the most accurate and reliable way of projecting cash flows, accruals etc.
   • Projections functions are designed to deal accurately with partial periods, change of rate part-way through a period, etc.
   • Running through the core of each projection function is the highly optimised daycount and date arithmetic, developed over several years.
   • The unique projections functions in the library give model developers a distinct edge over conventional approaches.
   • Whatever your business, project it right! Project your interest the same as your banker or bond manager, project your rent just like your Property Manager, Banker or Accountant.
4. Rapid Model Development
   • Familiar approach within Excel, the tool your already know, using standard functions. No need to learn new user interface.
   • Debug and error Trace facility. No more unexplained #NUM! errors, faster formulae debugging.
   • Online support Forum for all users.
   • Common chart of variables, standard variable names, consistent argument order and style throughout the library eases learning curve.
5. Quick to run
   • Several times faster than functions written in Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).
   • Functions written in optimized native C++ (faster than other methods such as .NET managed code).
6. Error Reduction
   • Use of same function across the timeframe of the model results in less one-off cell errors.
   • The likelihood of error depends less from ill-designed formulas and one-off cell mistakes and more on the choice of correct function and inputs. Inputs are in part checkable automatically by Trace, and in part easier to check by hand because you know what each argument is supposed to be.
   • Function inputs and range sizes are screened automatically by the functions for inconsistencies.
7. Ease of understanding
   • Functions are good practise - a modular way to separate logic from data.
   • The name of the function a much better indication of what spreadsheet designer was intending - there is an strong element of self-documentation.
   • No need to document a model cell by cell, formula by formula - the presence of a Business Function means that users can revert to the BF documentation for details of what a line in the spreadsheet is doing.
8. Robust
   • Functions work across a wide range of input magnitudes and will inform, via Trace, where an input is invalid or out of range.
   • C++ libraries are the most reliable form of Excel library, because of industry-strength C++compilers, syntax checkers and optimizers, and a minimum of extraneous overhead.
9. Ease of Maintenance
   • Used widely, standardisation amongst models leverages the analysts knowledge.
   • Business Functions behaviour is stable and constant over several years now - future releases are very unlikely to cause model breakages.

Enhancements:

• Maintenance release.
• Compiled with Boost Libraries 1.39.
• Bug fix on opening log files.

Binary Functions Library 2 is a kind of libraries which is able to support DLLs which expands its limitations to create robust applications. This library includes almost all bitwise functions you will imagine, such as Left Shift, Logical Right Shift, Arithmetic Right Shift, and many more. They are compatible with both VB and VB.NET.

This library was written completely using pure ASSEMBLY language to make the functions run as fast as possible, these functions work on 8-bit, 16-bit, 32-bit and 64-bit values. They are very useful for data encryption. Although you can derive your own functions in Visual Basic/ VB.NET, they will not run as fast as these library functions.

Microsoft SQL Server 2000 - Text Formatting Functions Contain Unchecked Buffers 354983 is the security fix which is previously published under Q304850.

SQL Server 2000 provides a number of functions that enable database queries to generate text messages. In some cases, the functions create a text message and store it in a variable; in others, the functions directly display the message. A vulnerability has been discovered with these functions.

Use of an invalid format type character may allow SQL Server to overwrite an internal buffer that may overwrite an address in the SQL Server process space with arbitrary data. If SQL Server overwrites an address in the SQL Server process space with arbitrary data, SQL Server may potentially allow you to execute arbitrary code within SQL Server or the SQL Server process may abnormally terminate.

Windows XP Unchecked Buffer in File Decompression Functions Vulnerability Patch MS02-054 is regarded as an effective and impressive patch which addresses two vulnerabilities. An unchecked buffer exists in the program that handles the decompressing of files from a zipped file. When this program tries to open a file that has a specially malformed file name that is contained in a zipped file, Windows Explorer may fail, or an attacker may be able to run any code. This behavior creates a security vulnerability.

The second vulnerability is that the decompression function may put a file in a folder that is different from, or that is a child of, the target folder that is specified by the user as the location where the decompressed ZIP files are put. This behavior may allow an attacker to put a file in a known location on the user's computer; for example, an attacker may put a program in a Startup folder.
