Status report on TAUOLA, its environment, and its applications

The status of the Monte Carlo programs for the simulation of the tau-lepton production and decay in high energy accelerator experiments is reviewed. In particular, the status of the following packages is discussed: (i) TAUOLA for tau-lepton decay and PHOTOS for radiative corrections in decays, (ii) MC-TESTER for universal tests of the Monte Carlo programs describing particle decays, (iii) KORALB, KORALZ, KKMC packages for tau-pair production in e+e- collisions, and (iv) universal interface of TAUOLA for the decay of tau-leptons produced by ``any'' generator.
