- AMIGANTT Version 4.00.00
-
- Bug Fixes and Enhancements
-
-
- Version 4.00.00 of AmiGantt represents the fourth major release of the program
- and inlcudes many new features. AmiGantt is intended as a simple project
- management tool for the Amiga, based on the Gantt Chart as the primary input.
-
- The major bug fixes and enhancements included in this version are:
-
- 1. The file format of AmiGantt projects has changed with this version.
- Version 4.00.00 can load and read version 3.00.00 and above project
- files. When you Save the file, it will be automatically converted
- to version 4.00.00 format.
-
- 2. The Pert Chart now uses the Helvetica 9 font, which is provided on
- the standard WorkBench 1.3, rather than the special Gantt 6 font
- provided in earlier releases. It makes the printouts look better.
-
- 3. Resource information now includes 'percentage use' to define how
- much of a person's total time is dedicated to this task. The
- Resource Histogram display and costing reports will use this
- percentage to adjust the total committment of the person.
-
- 4. AmiGantt now opens its own 8 colour screen which makes it easier to
- drag all the windows away at once and permits more extensive use of
- colour on the Gantt and Resource charts. The colours may be
- adjusted from the Modify Colours option of the MISC menu. Changes
- in colour are automatically saved with each project.
-
- 5. AmiGantt 4.00.00 has two AREXX interfaces:
-
- a) An input port which allows the user to run certain
- functions of AmiGantt from an ARexx macro; and
- b) An output port from which ARexx commands attached to any
- Task can be executed to run other ARexx-compatible
- programs such as editors, IFF file displays, and spread-
- sheets.
-
- 6. AmiGantt 4.00.00 now recognizes when actual changes have been made
- to a project and presents the "Are you sure..." requestor only if
- there is a danger of losing the changes.
-
- 7. A number of problems with the display and printout of Monthly Gantt
- charts have been corrected. These were manifested by either all
- the bars being stacked against the left side of the chart, or the
- bars being in the wrong positions.
