- 5.0 Enhancements to version 2.01.00 of AmiGantt
- and known anomolies
-
- 5.1 Enhancements
-
- a) The file structure used to store AMIGANTT project information has been
- expanded. This unfortunately means that projects created with version
- 1.01.00 or 1.01.01 of AMIGANTT cannot be used in AMIGANTT 2.01.00. A
- conversion program is 'in the works'.
-
- b) AMIGANTT 2.01.00 now creates project icons under 'Save' or 'Save As'.
- These icons can then be used to directly enter a project from
- Workbench simply by double-clicking them.
-
- c) AMIGANTT 2.01.00 uses the standard ARP library file requestor and
- GADS interface from CLI. The file requestor has much added
- functionality from that used in AMIGANTT 1.01.00 and 'Loads', 'Saves'
- and 'Save As' default to the current directory where AMIGANTT (or the
- project) was run, rather than DF1:
-
- d) Float values for tasks are now supported through the setting of a
- 'latest end date' for each task.
-
- e) Other projects are now supported as tasks, allowing the user to create
- a 'master schedule' of all the other projects.
-
- f) The maximum number of tasks permitted in a projet has been increased
- from 100 to 500
-
- g) The 'Sort by Starting Date' and 'Sort by Completion Date' options are
- now operational.
-
- h) Grids have been added to the Gantt Chart display to improve readability
-
- i) Milestones may now be defined by providing a Start Date and no duration
-
- j) AMIGANTT 2.01.00 has added the Resource Histogram window display which
- will automatically update as tasks are added, deleted, or modified.
-
- k) The printer preferences settings are now read by AMIGANTT prior to
- printing reports. If they are not correct, the user has the option
- to let AMIGANTT send the appropriate codes to set the printer up
- properly.
-
- l) After Loading a Project, or Modifying the Project Header, the screen
- title will be updated to the first line of the project description.
-
- m) Long requestor messages have been changed to 2 lines to make them
- easier to read (and less startling)
-
- n) Various internal structures have been redefined to keep the overall
- size of AMIGANTT 2.01.00 around 100K
-
- o) Pressing the ESC key during a pirntout will cause the print job to
- be aborted.
-
-
- Known Anomolies
-
- a) If AMIGANTT 2.01.00 is started from CLI, the second time a project
- is loaded, a GURU will occur complaining about attempting to Free
- Twice. This does not occur if AMIGANTT is started from Workbench
- by either the AMIGANTT icon or a project icon.
-
- b) Due to a bug in the Lattice C sprintf function, totals on some of
- the reports may not be correct.
-
- c) Again, due to a Lattice C bug, the columns of data in the reports
- do not line-up properly.
