QUICKTAX BASIC TAX YEAR 2000 (CANADIAN)
WARNING: QuickTax Basic is the ONLY QuickTax product THAT CAN BE RUN WITH OS/2. (It uses WinOS2.) However, according to Intuit Tech Support officials, in accordance with our own experience, but contrary to their advertising, RETURNS CREATED WITH QUICKTAX apparently CANNOT BE FILED ELECTRONICALLY USING THE INTERNET. The generated file must be copied to a
Windows 9x system and NETFILE'D using the Win 9x version of QuickTax.

DANIS506R138.ZIP
New release of Daniela's IDE driver. NOTE: There is a
conflict between the VIA 596B chipset and release 1.3.8 of the Dani driver.
The symptoms vary, even on the same system, and can even prevent it from booting up. Check your owner's manual to see if your motherboard has this chipset. If it does, you should either not install this driver, or only do so under test conditions. Daniela is working to correct this problem.
