I have a philosophical question. With open source software how do you make sure that the copy you are running was not modified to send your accounting data to some "data collection" site? If you compile your own copy of the program, which is the usual way of preventing such "hacks", it would not be the program that was tested and IMHO there would be no way to prove it without testing it again. How would the tax agency ascertain that the program that produced a report was in fact the certified version of the program and not a version modified in any way? Using computer programs to steal money or hide income from the tax authorities is not a new or uniquely Israeli concept. AFAIK there have only been three programs approved. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.
