I have also been frustrated by Taxview. Installing it in an existing
Windows environment is probably a mistake. Softview has'nt done a very
good job with the installation process for this environment. I would suggest
you install it in a stand alone environment with the runtime software they
provide. This will also keep it from messing up your win.ini.

I have discovered that taxview is very sensitive to the PostScript driver
you use. I have been unable to get good output from either the Aldus or
the Micrografx drivers. It fails completely when using the Aldus driver
direct to an Appletalk device. I plan to install the driver Softview
provides with the stand alone environment, but have not done this yet.
It's hard to fault Softview for this. I blame Microsoft for not providing
a full function PostScript driver that meets all application requirements.
(I would like to hear Microsoft's story on this issue.)
