Not everyone was affected by the bugs in the '91 version...I had a relatively
simple return, and had no problems whatsoever.  Having heard about these problems,
however, I decided to give ChipSoft a call;  they claim to have fixed all the
problems some users experienced and also claim to improved and added to the
features of the program.  I plan to use MacInTax again this year and we'll see
how it goes.
