Barry Lustig's comments on tax programs



We were playing with Managing Your Money and found that
it worked better (printing) on the NeXT than on the Mac.
It would be REALLY nice to have MacInTax'92 (any year)
work through Executor. I currently run it on the Mac and
then bring the PostScript over to my NeXT for printing
and it all gets screwed up, but I send it in anyway.
Obviously, around this time of the year, a tax program
running on the NeXT would be handy.

Now that someone has tried Word 5.1, has anyone tried
using EndNote with it through Executor, because the only
bibliography handler on the NeXT is TeX, so this would
be helpful.

I tried loading Cricket Draw III, which has a lot of nice
drawing features, and it crashed immediately. I also tried
loading MacDraw Pro and it worked, but I have not played with
it much yet. I had FrameMaker 2.1 running fine on the NeXT,
as a comparison to the version I have running on the NeXT.
I was interested in seeing if I could share files. 

Unfortunately, the 3.0x running on the NeXT is incompatible
with many of the files on 2.1, but I was able to trade MIF
files and clip art between the two applications. FrameMaker
3.0x for the Mac crashed when I tried to load it into
Executor, so the experiment is on hold for now. Still wondering
if anyone has gotten Stuffit (and derivatives) to work under
Executor.
