- Contents of the ARC file:
- AMIGANTT -- the main program, which can be run from CLI or Workbench
- AMIGANTT.inf -- an icon file (for Workbench access) which should be renamed
- to AMIGANTT.info
- AMIGANTT.doc -- the full documentation set for AMIGANTT
- TESTPROJ.dat -- a 'test project' data file
- READ.ME -- this file
-
- Known Anomolies:
- 1. There are a number of options (sorts, move task, resource & pert windows)
- that are not yet implemented. These are documented and will be added
- in future releases.
- 2. Currently, printouts from AMIGANTT assume that you have 132 characters
- available across the page. If you are using 8 1/2" by 11" paper (as most
- of us seem to) then you should change your PREFERENCES to 15 pitch or
- put the printer into COMPRESSED mode before printing from AMIGANTT.
- Very soon, AMIGANTT will be enhanced to look at the PREFERENCES and will
- send the appropriate control code to make sure the printouts look good.
- 3. Due to a bug in the Lattice C sprintf function, 3 digit numbers in the
- totals in the printouts are incorrect. As soon as Lattice gets the patch
- out, I will release a new version of AMIGANTT with the correction.
-
- Bug Reports: Encouraged and welcomed. Please address any comments to the
- author at any of the addresses above.
-
- Futures:
- Expected enhancements for the next release of AMIGANTT are:
-
- a) ARP file requestor and interface
- b) ARexx interface
- c) Depiction of 'floating' tasks
- d) Definition of project milestones
- e) Upgrade or removal of the limitation on the number of tasks
- f) Allowing other projects as tasks
- g) Dynamic Resource and Pert Chart windows where these graphical
- depictions of the project will change as the tasks are added,
- modified, or deleted
- h) MOVE TASK function will be added
- i) SORT menu options will be operational
- j) AMIGANTT will have an option to produce icons for projects to
- allow direct loading from Workbench
