At the time, the best software available was dumb templates.
Templates usually require special software to run and don t have the ability to handle calculations.
If any stand-alone programs existed they were written for DOS and didn t work as a Windows program. No program was able to transfer information to complete an Ohio estate tax return. Imagine selling software to an accountant s office and saying, Here s our new tax program. By the way, when you re done making your entries, you ll need to get out a calculator and do all the math. Again, studying our users what they like, and what they don t like paid big dividends.
