Melle, Germany -- October 31, 2006 -- ProjectWizards the makers of
the project management software Merlin, today announced the release
candidate of Merlin 2 called the "Halloween Version".

This special Halloween release comes with a few treats. A miniature
view has been integrated for all graphical displays. This enables a
quick overview in the Gantt, the Utilization or the Netplan view,
making navigation in projects of all sizes very easy.

Merlin 2 can now export projects into mind map implementing a widely
requested feature, which allows for easy transfer of Merlin 2
projects to the NovaMind or MindManager.

Users may find the implementation of AppleScript very convenient.
This allows Merlin 2 to be integrated more widely into the
environment of a company. In addition to these little treats, other
interface enhancements have been made to the application. Detailed
information can be obtained from the release notes available here:
