That's for poor dumb DOS dweebs. :-) I have no complaints about MacInTax prior to the '91 version. But it was owned by a different company then. The '91 version was the first version from ChipSoft. Given the obviously high quality of the program in previous incarnations, ChipSoft must have worked pretty hard to hose things up in just a few months. As for specific problems, I had only one, whenever I changed a value in a certain fields, the program bombed. Thus to do what-ifs I had to reenter all the data multiple times, correctly. This was more than annoying. The only field that I remember for sure that caused this problem was filing status. Only one bug, yes, but it bit me over and over and over. -- Douglas Surber "Would you rather debug at Lockheed compile time or run time?" Houston, TX --Michael B. Feldman
