Picks for DOS
The state of DOS is like a Monty Python skit;
the only question is which skit? - the Bring
Out Your Dead skit where DOS programs keep popping up saying
"I'm not dead!" or the Dead
Parrot skit where one last voice keeps claiming that DOS isn't
really dead, when it very obviously has breathed its last.
Well, DOS is not quite dead yet. In fact, our first DOS Pick is
an income tax program, which is one more shareware income tax program
than we've found for Windows.
Share-TAX/1040
is an income tax preparation program. It can print an IRS
approved tax return on either a laser or dot matrix printer.
Share-TAX/1040 displays the forms on the screen and all you
have to do is enter the raw numbers. The program calculates
totals and carries them forward to the appropriate forms.
Forms supported include 1040, A, B, C, D, E, EIC, F, R, SE,
2106, 2210, 2441, 3903, 4137, 4562, 6251, 8606, 8615, and
