My it MUST have been a bad day! In this and following polemics Mr. Surber
assails ChipSoft and MacInTax. I have used this product for at least 5
years, and while there have been occasional minor bugs (and most often
lapses in documentation), the software has behaved admirably. Even in
last year's "bug ridden" version, I had no difficulty in using the 
package and I even thought there were some improvements! (Of course I may  
change my mind if I get a letter from the IRS.) I ordered the "quick
start" version this year - it shipped within a week of the scheduled
release date. I loaded it, ran the conversion program and watched all
of those numbers as they placed themselves so neatly in the proper
locations.
Remarkable! MacInTax never did THAT before. SO....Mr. Surber, if an
humble chemist can use this program without despair, I would meekly
suggest perhaps you might need to consult the manual next time. :-) :-)
