+Open Tax Solver - Package
+--------------------------
+
+April 28, 2025 v22.07 - For Tax-Year 2024.
+
+See project homepage:	http://opentaxsolver.sourceforge.net/
+
+OpenTaxSolver (OTS) is a set of programs and templates for helping you
+fill out your income tax forms.  It performs the tedious arithmetic.
+OTS is intended to assist those who normally prepare their tax forms
+themselves, and who generally know on which lines to enter their numbers.
+It is meant to be used in combination with the instruction booklet 
+corresponding to a given form.
+
+This package contains programs and templates for:
+	- US-1040 - which also does the Schedules A, B, D, and forms 8949. 
+	- Schedule C for US-1040.
+	- State Income Taxes for Ohio, New Jersey, Virginia, Pennsylvania,
+	  Massachusetts, North Carolina, and California taxes updated for
+	  the 2024 Tax-Year.
+Also contains an Automatic PDF Form-Fillout function:
+	- Supports all Federal Forms and State Forms.
+	  Saves time by filling out many of the numbers.  
+	  You may still need to enter some information or check boxes
+	  that are not handled by OTS.
+	  Tested to work properly with many PDF viewers.
+	- You can edit your forms with Libre-Office.
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+--- This package contains executables for MS-Windows.   ---
+-----------------------------------------------------------
+  (Compiled on MS-Windows-11)
+  (Works on MS-Windows 10 and 11. )
+
+History:
+    * v22.07 (4/28/2025) - Improved result-rounding, now controlable from
+	the OTS GUI, or directly from individual files, which only affects PDF
+	Form fill-outs, and works uniformly for all forms.  In Fed Form 1040, 
+	added switch for Qualified Charitable Distributions (QCD) after line 4b. 
+	Fixed Fed-1040 tax-breaakpoint for Head-of-Household.
+	In NY State Form, added special limit for MFJ on line 29.
+	Fixes to Sched-SE, added Minister checkbox, and now prints line 3.
+	Provided visibility of STA_VAGI in Virginia PDF form.
+    * v22.06 (3/15/2025) - Switched formatting of Fed-1040, and related 
+	Federal Forms to Round-to-Whole dollars.  Added ability to fill-in 
+	PIN numbers in Fed-1040.  Added ability to check request for Health
+	info on the CA-540 PDF Form.  Updated the Form 8829 template.  
+	Added initial version of Oregon State tax form program.
+    * v22.05 (3/6/2025) - Promoted the new MI State form to front GUI panel.
+	Fixed the new MI State form line 34.  In OH State form's optional
+	information section, added second address line, and county-code.
+	In AZ State form, now sets line 29a limit according to the number
+	of tax-payers.  Removed quotes around Dependent names in Form-1040
+	output to ease parsing in new form programs using 1040 output.
+    * v22.04 (2/28/2025) - The PDF fill-out program can now suppress
+	negative signs for form-lines enclosed in parenthesis, which
+	are expected to be negative (by accounting notation).
+	As for example on Schedule-D, lines 14 and 21. 
+	Added Fed-1040 Sched-D lines 1a and 8a, for those who receive
+	Forms 1099-B on some transactions.
+    * v22.03 (2/12/2025) - Fixed stray comma in Fed 1040 and 2210 tax-table.
+	Added click-able instructions for forms 8602, 8812, 8895, 8959, and 8960.
+	Added option in GUI to set a custom save-directory instead of the default,
+	Invoke ots_gui with command-line option '-help' to see the option(s).
+    * v22.02 (2/6/2025) - Added initial preliminary version of Michigan
+	  State tax form.
+	- Added options to Run_taxsolve_GUI for enlarging window and text
+	  for Hi-DPI screens. (Invoke Run_taxsolve_GUI with '-large'.)
+	- Added entries for fed-1040 to enter refund direct deposit info.
+    * v22.01 (1/30/2025) - Added the NY State PDF form.
+	- Updated Federal Form F2210, and CA-540 State programs.
+    * v22.00 (1/27/2025) - Preliminary release for Tax-Year 2024.
+	- Includes updates for many of the run-able forms.
+	- Although the tax-program for NY State has been updated, we are
+	  still waiting for Dept of Taxation to post NY's PDF Form.
+	- Please check back for more updates.
+
+Usage:
+ Invoke by running:   Run_taxsolve_GUI
+  (Located in the top directory.)
+ 
+ For Auto-Fillout of PDF Forms, click the "Print" button, and select
+  "Automatically Fill-out PDF Tax-Form", then click "Print".
+ You can set your preferred PDF viewer by the (Set PDF Viewer) button,
+  or by setting the environment variable:  PDF_VIEWER
+ The Auto-Fillout feature is tested to work properly with the PDF
+ viewers "Google-Chrome", "Firefox", "LibreOffice", "Atril", "Xpdf", 
+ "Safari", "IE", "Edge", and "Acrobat Reader".
+ You can edit your filled-out PDF forms with LibreOffice.
+
+General:
+Example tax-data files and blank starting templates are included under
+the "tax_form_files" directory.  For each filer, save filled-out 
+template to a new name, such as "fed1040_2024.txt".  After filling-in the
+lines, then run the tax solver on it.  From the GUI, this is done by
+pressing "Compute Tax" button.
+Or solvers can be run from the command-line, for example, as:
+  bin/taxsolve_usfed1040_2024  Fed1040_2024.txt
+Where "Fed1040_2024.txt" is the name of -your- tax-data file, which
+you can edit with your favorite text-editor to fill it in or print
+it out.  Output results are saved to "..._out.txt" files
+(eg. Fed1040_2024_out.txt), and can be printed out directly too.
+

+
+Re-compiling:
+ Unix/Linux/Mac:
+  Pre-compiled executables for Unix/Linux are normally in bin directory.
+  However to build the binaries in the bin/ directory:
+     cd OpenTaxSolver2024_22.xx	      ( cd into top directory. )
+     rm ./bin/* Run_taxsolve_GUI      ( Clears executables. )
+     src/Build_taxsolve_packages.sh   ( Creates executables. )
+
+ MS-Windows:
+   Pre-compiled executables are normally in bin directory.
+   For compiling OTS on MSwindows, MinGW with Msys is recommended.
+   From Msys terminal window:
+      cd OpenTaxSolver2024_18.xx       ( cd into top directory. )
+      rm ./bin/* Run_taxsolve_GUI.exe  ( Clears executables. )
+      src/Build_taxsolve_packages.sh   ( Creates executables. )
