MacInTax under Executor status



Dear Folks,

Here's the mottled story of MacInTax under Executor:

	MacInTax '92 and '93 have no chance of running under E/NS 1.3

	E/NS 1.3a (note the "a") will be out soon, and MacInTax '92
	"limps" under it.  We don't have time to do exhaustive
	testing, but it's a step up from what 1.3 does, although we
	*don't* have a copy of MacInTax '93 yet.

	The MacInTax *Installer* still doesn't run, even under 1.3a.

Our major fileserver was down for 13 days over the holidays, and  
we're just getting back on our feet from that catastrophe.  I'll try  
to have 1.3a out on ftp.cs.unm.edu this weekend or sooner.  All  
MacInTax errors that you find will be fixed as a fairly high  
priority.  The thing that was holding us back so far was a bug in one  
of the most poorly implemented pieces of Executor ("Stylized  
TextEdit" for the curious).  However, we've resigned ourselves to  
rewriting substantial portions of that code and I'm pleased with the  
progress we've made to date.
