I'm not familiar with FinCad.  Could you comment on what you've found
to be its particular strengths vs. weaknesses?  And perhaps
compare/contrast it to other libraries out there, e.g. TIPS for bonds,
or NAG for stuff that's not necessarily finance specific?

Also, how do they license FinCad, and what's its ballpark cost?  (They
don't seem to have that info on their website.)
