How would one go about starting a company for software production?  I mean,
stuff like "Acme Software, maker of products like Acme Calc, Acme Write,
Acme Paint..."  Not necessarily a full-blown organization with secretaries
and the like, but the basic one-man show.

What are the legal aspects?  With whom should I discuss this?  A lawyer?
An accountant?  (Those dread taxes!)  Is there a free government booklet? ;-)

I would prefer responses to me, and I will summarize to the net.
