I have been following this flame for a while, and as a Data-Tax user since it was first published, I would like to throw in my two cents worth. I would like to say what I like about Data-Tax. It exists. There is no other tax program available. It has the forms I use (at least most of them) so I do not have to create the forms in Phasar or with a spreadsheet. But other than that, it has very little to recommend it. The user interface looks like a first generation Amiga program. The procedure for getting from form to form is truly terrible. A two level deep stack to get back to a form is rediculous. I have never been able to get DT to print all my used forms. When I select that option, not all the forms I use are selected, and only the second one prints anyway. So I must print all the forms one by one, and sometimes miss some. When a Turbo-Tax clone becomes available on the Amiga, I will drop Data-Tax like a hot rock. Bill Roberts — Autopilot from Ellettsville, Indiana
