INTEX LAUNCHES NEW TAX PREPARATION PROGRAM 

Tax Solver Boasts More Forms, Offers Greater Customization Features Than
Any Leading Tax Program

October 1, 1992 -- Needham. Mass. -- Both individual and business tax
filers have been given an exciting new tax preparation alternative just in
time for the start of the 1992-93 Tax Season, with the release today of
Tax Solver by Intex Solutions, Inc., the leading publisher of spreadsheet
enhancement products. Tax Solver, created especially for Lotus 1-2-3,
Symphony and Microsoft Excel users, is the first tax preparation program
to exploit the latest DOS and WINDOWS spreadsheet technologies, especially
file linking and WYSIWYG. The new program provides all tax filers with the
most comprehensive selection of forms and schedules. These 147 different
spreadsheet forms are replicas of IRS tax forms and schedules, with all
formulas and links in place and ready to use.

To use Tax Solver, users simply enter their financial tax data once into a
spreadsheet. The program automatically copies and calculates the entries
throughout a series of linked forms and schedules. No tax program can
generate a complete tax return faster than Tax Solver.

"Because Tax Solver runs in a familiar spreadsheet environment, it is
extremely easy for spreadsheet users to learn and use, easier than
stand-alone tax software," said Jim Wilner, VP of the PC Products
Division. "What's more, only Tax Solver lets users customize their tax
calculations and take advantage of their spreadsheet's powerful "what-if"
capabilities to identify ways to reduce taxes."

Linked Worksheets For Speed and Accuracy

Because the worksheets are linked, users need only enter tax information
once; Tax Solver automatically transfers the entries from one tax form to
another. This saves users time and also virtually eliminates errors in
transferring values.

Built-in formulas handle all arithmetic and tax calculations, within a form
and between forms. For example, the total capital gains computed on
Schedule D is automatically carried forward to the 1040.

Tax Solver Puts Users in Control

There are several ways that Tax Solver helps users realize the greatest tax
savings. As a spreadsheet add-on, the program lets users take advantage of
the extensive "what-if" capabilities and all other standard features built
into 1-2-3, Symphony and Excel. In this way, users can quickly test the
tax advantages of various scenarios. For example, with a single entry, a
couple can see how changing their filing status from "joint" to "separate"
will impact their tax liability.

Tax Solver also shows exactly how each calculation is derived. If a user's
calculation needs to be "customized" to suit a particular tax situation,
it's easy to simply edit that worksheet cell. And because Tax Solver
"remembers" the entire tax return, all carry-forward calculations are
saved automatically and reflected in next year's return.

Helpful Features and Technical Support Policies

Tax Solver comes with a fully descriptive manual, and includes a diagnostic
checklist worksheet which automatically alerts the user of any elements
missing from the tax return. Another feature is a unique warning audit
worksheet that compares the information in the user's return to average
IRS ratios for such items as medical deductions, interest expense,
charitable contributions and taxes at the same income level. Technical
support is free, and telephone lines are manned seven days a week during
Tax Season.
