Several people have reported to me that Intuit dropped their earlier 
intellectual property protection scheme last year.  And, I have 
installed TurboTax on my system using Setup.exe on the CD.   The system 
has been rebooted since without any difficulties.

It is still not running, though, probably due to my lack of familiarity 
with wine and to several years absence from doing anything at all with 
Windows software.  (I haven't addressed any Windows operating system 
setup parameters since W95.)
