- Description
- -----------
- MainLine is a Project Management Tool. It helps you easily develop a Gantt/Pert
- chart for a project. Up to 150 tasks and milestones are supported, over a 5-year
- period. A uniquely formatted chart is displayed on the screen. A large amount
- of project activity is displayed in a relatively small area. A pop-up editing
- window allows easy changes. The printed output of MainLine is exactly what
- is seen on the screen. It is a text file suitable for electronic mailing, or
- viewing with a word processor. A hardcopy of the chart can be used for
- presentations - it transfers directly to "Viewgraphs" or other types of
- transparencies. Other types of project data reports are also available.
-
- Many other features are provided to ease working on larger projects, such as;
-
- - ROLLUP provides a top-level summary of activities.
- - IMPORT merges multiple small projects together.
- - COPY repeats often-used groups of tasks/milestones
- - SEARCH, FIND, and GOTO locate or sort tasks/milestones
- if not presently on screen.
- - RENUMBER "cleans up" the project if numerous edits have been
- made over time.
