The status of Monte Carlo programs for the simulation of τ-lepton production and decay in high-energy accelerator experiments is reviewed. No basic changes in the organization of the programs were necessary since the previous τ-lepton conference in 2006. Minor in size, but practical, extensions for the use of the programs in high precision mixed languages enviromens are being introduced: (i) For the TAUOLA Monte Carlo generator of τ-lepton decays, automated and simultaneous use of many versions of form-factors for the calculation of optional weights for fits was discussed. A pilot example of its use was presented. (ii) New tests for PHOTOS Monte Carlo for QED bremsstrahlung in W decays were shown. (iii) Prototype version of the TAUOLA universal interface based on HepMC (the C++ event record) was mentioned. Its tests with the help of MC-TESTER were discussed.Presented results illustrate the status of the projects performed in collaboration with Vladimir Cherepanov, Nadia Davidson, Piotr Golonka, Gizo Nanava, Tomasz Przedziński, Elżbieta Richter-Wa̧s and others.
