[sop to imaginary line-eaters]

I'm looking for some assistance with a specific program for
the 99/4 - "Tax & Investment Record Keeping".  It is sold as
a plug-in cartridge - needs disk, etc. to work.

Apparently this program manages all the space on a floppy as
one large file, with some kind of strange internal organization.

The problem is that the program reports "DISK FULL" errors when
the file contains only ~36 transactions out of a possible ~366.
It appears that something is going sadly wrong with the indexing
the program is using to manage the disk space, because a transaction
in one category shows up in a totally unrelated category (somewhat
garbled because of different formats, but recognizable).

Question:  Does anyone know of bugs in this software?
	   If so, are there any detours?
	   Does TI still support these ROM-based applications,
	   or am I just out of luck?

I realize the above description is somewhat sketchy - if you 
think you can help, please respond via mail & I'll give you the
whole story.

As usual, thanks in advance.
