Then invoke the program with "GANTT name" The file "GANTT.PRT" can also be used as a model by copying it to a new file name and making your modifications. To create GANTT files with SCHEDULE use the configuration controls on the F10 frame of SCHEDULE to direct the print output to disk and set the lines per page to zero. For example: enter "ODCL0026***". Then exit SCHEDULE and enter GANTT with the same project name. HITT Personal Software 13 Rosalind Road Poughkeepsie, New York 12601 914-471-5354 \w\;
