PlanView 1.0 (readme.txt - 11/30/92)
=======================================================================
GENERAL INFORMATION
=======================================================================
PlanView is a shareware program. If you find this program useful
and find that you are using it after a reasonable trial period, you
must make a registration payment to Sapphire Software Inc. The
registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer
at any one time. To register, use the program's "Registration" option
in the "Help" menu or use the "register.txt" file.
You are encouraged to pass a copy of PlanView (in its original form)
along to your friends for evaluation. Please encourage them to
register their copy if they find that they can use it.
PlanView is designed for overall planning needs in a dynamic
environment where plans often change and you need to be able to
get fast "ballpark" numbers for a plan. PlanView 1.0 will handle
up to a few hundred events in a given plan, but it is not suited
for highly complex projects where thousands of tasks are defined
within a project plan.
Thank you for trying PlanView. If you have further questions please
contact me:
