Section 1. General Program and Author Information.
=======================================================================
Dear User:
This program can be used for quick overall project planning, activity
scheduling, and resource scheduling. You can assign income and costs
to events (tasks) and resources to estimate a project's income and
cost. You can define events that are tied to predecessors. For these
related events, start and end times are automatically calculated.
You can shift all events in a plan forward or backward in time. You
can define multiple calendars and use different calendars for each
resource. The program allows free-form drawing of events on a scale
of days, weeks, months, or years. On-line help and sample plans are
provided.
It will handle up to a few hundred events in a given plan, but it is
not suited for highly complex projects where thousands of tasks are
defined within a project plan.
This program requires Microsoft Windows 3.0 or 3.1 and a mouse (or a
equivalent pointing device). (NOTE: Subsequent releases will require
Microsoft Windows 3.1.)
Thank you for trying this program.

Section 5. Installation and Getting Starting.
======================================================================
1. If upgrading from a previous version, refer to the RELEASE.DOC
file.
2. To install from the standard distribution diskette received
directly from Sapphire Software Inc.:
a. Create a directory to place the program files. You
may use the Windows File Manager or DOS. For example
in DOS type:
md c:\aplanr
b. Copy all the program files from the diskette to the
new directory. You may use the Window File Manager or
DOS. For example in DOS type:
copy a:\*.* c:\aplanr
[NOTE: The above only applies to diskettes received directly from
Sapphire Software Inc. Files received from bulletin boards or
Shareware vendors will typically be in compressed format.]
3. How to run the program:
The program executable is named "APLANR.EXE". You may execute
it directly with the Windows File manager.
If you want to set up an icon in a program group to execute
APLANR.EXE, refer to the Windows Users' Guides for the
appropriate version:
Windows 3.0: See Chapter 3 "Program Manager" in a section
titled "Changing the Contents of Groups"
near page 89.
Windows 3.1: See Chapter 3 "Program Manager" in a section
titled "Working with Program Items" near
page 78.
Use the directory that APLANR.EXE is located in as the path for
the default directory.
4. Upon starting the program for the first time, review the on-line
help information that is available from the program's "Help" menu.
You may print any of the help sections.
5. Look at the sample plans, resource definitions, and calendar
definitions that are provided.
6. Refer to the RELEASE.DOC file for additional information regarding
the current release.
7. By default, all data resides in the same directory as the program
executable. You may place your data in another location by doing
the following:
a. Create the directory you want to store the data in.
b. Use the "Directories" option of the "Options" menu to tell
the program to use this directory for all data.
