MECA SOFTWARE SHIPS 1992 EDITIONS OF TAXCUT FOR WINDOWS AND DOS

FAIRFIELD, Conn., Sept. 30, 1992--MECA Software, Inc. today shipped the
Windows and DOS "headstart" editions of Andrew Tobias' TaxCut, the leading
personal income tax preparation software program. The 1992 edition now
offers a variety of powerful enhancements and exciting new features
designed to make preparing and filing tax returns faster, easier and
guaranteed to be completely accurate. TaxCut is the first product to ship
in the tax preparation software industry and sells for about $50 in most
stores.

"We recognize that many people do their tax preparation and planning for
last minute tax savings in the fourth quarter," said Daniel Schley,
president and CEO of MECA. "That's why it was important to make TaxCut
available on October 1, the date the demand for the product starts to
increase. It's our understanding that this is the earliest date any tax
preparation product has ever been available."

TaxCut for Windows now features a graphical interface using Windows 3.1
TrueType fonts, enabling people to view tax forms in any size or font,
including the more than 85 additional worksheets, forms and schedules.
This edition of TaxCut for DOS and Windows directly incorporates the
filing communication software that allows users to electronically file
their returns. It also enhances MECA's acclaimed interview process,
providing even more tax planning advice. Other new features allow users to
simplify tax preparation by importing data directly from the best-selling
financial planning software such as Managing Your Money, Quicken and
Fidelity Online Xpress.

such as Babbages, CompUSA, Egghead, Software ETC. and Electronics
Boutique, computer and office superstores, mass merchants, mail order
