Demo & Full Application
-----------------------------------
When you install FastTrack Schedule 6.03, 
you are installing both the fully enabled 
application and the Demo version. 
The demo version is a two (2) user network 
version whose only limitation is not 
allowing you to save schedule files. You can 
install it on your computer or on a server 
or shared directory/folder.

-If you have purchased the program, enter the 
Serial # found on the box, the CD/floppy disk 
container, and registration card when asked to 
do so. This will enable all features for 
FastTrack Schedule 6.03.

-If you have received the program as a 
demonstration version, no Serial # will be 
provided and you should instead type "Demo" 
when asked to enter the Serial #. This gives 
you all the power and flexibility of the full 
FastTrack Schedule--the only thing you cannot do 
is save schedule files.
If after evaluating the demo, you would like to 
purchase the program, contact our 
Sales Department at (800)346-9413 to receive 
a Serial #. 

-To convert the Demo version into a 
fully enabled program, open the About FastTrack 
Schedule dialog (located in the Help menu 
[Windows] or the Apple menu [Macintosh])and click 
the "Enable..." button. Enter your Serial # 
in place of the word Demo, click OK, and you 
now have a fully enabled copy of FastTrack 
Schedule.

Required Printer & Video Drivers for 
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 2000, 
and Windows NT 4.0
-----------------------------------
FastTrack Schedule for Windows was designed 
as a full 32-bit product for Windows.

Many printer manufacturers and video
manufacturers need to provide updated 
drivers for the Windows 95, Windows 98, 
Windows 2000, and Windows NT 4.0.
Some have been more prompt than others 
in addressing these issues. As this is 
a world-wide issue, users should check 
with the manufacturers of their printers 
and video drivers for these environments. 
A convenient way to do so is to check the 
manufacturer's internet web site for 
updated drivers, as most manufacturers 
now make these updated drivers available 
free of charge.

What's New in 6.03?
---------------------------
FastTrack Schedule 6.03 is a focused
but powerful revision which adds several 
new features, addresses some unexpected 
behavior and fixes minor bugs.

Enhanced Features:

- MPX integration with Project KickStart(TM) - 
Now the crucial Brainstorming phase of Project 
Management can yield immediate, usable results. 
Project KickStart, by Experience in Software, Inc., 
walks you through the project planning process 
and creates an MPX file which can be opened 
seamlessly by FastTrack Schedule. You can install
a demo of Project KickStart from your FastTrack
Schedule CD.

- More Automated Lessons - Lessons 6, 7 and 8 are 
now available. We have also enhanced our Main Menu 
interface for increased intuitiveness. 

Enhanced Stability:

- Older versions of MS Project - You can now export 
your FastTrack Schedule files in MPX format to older 
versions of MS Project on both the Windows and 
Macintosh platforms.  

Bug Fixes
- Because there are conflicts between third party
extensions and Apple Navigation Services, 
FastTrack Schedule now allows you to disable use
of Navigation Services. 
- Miscellaneous minor errata

from version 3.0 and higher. If you need
