Contents of the archive:
AmiGantt -- the main program, which can be run from CLI or Workbench
AmiGantt.info-- an icon file (for Workbench access)
AMIGANTT.doc -- the full documentation set for AMIGANTT
READ.ME -- this file
Gantt501.txt -- things that were specifically changed in version 5.01.00
Known Anomolies:
1. The Pert Chart is generated by starting at the last task in the project
(denoted by the latest starting date) and working backwards through the
dependency network. If you have tasks which are not connected in some
way to the last task, then they will not show up on the Pert Chart.
2. Although the top line in a Pert Chart is normally the critical path, for
ease of display, AmiGantt puts the path with the greatest number of tasks
at the top of the Pert. In most cases, this will also be the critical
but not always. The Sort on Critical Path and Identify Critical Path
options work correctly, selecting the path which has the longest planned
duration.
3. Sorry, but because of difficulties in adjusting the text for use in
the Gantt chart, I've had to force the screen text font to topaz 8 for the
time being.
4. A number of A4000 owners have encountered problems with the menu highlighting
not following the pointer. My suspicion is that this is something to do
with using the scan-doubling modes in the AGA chip set. I think I'm using
standard Intuition interfaces, so all I can suggest right now is for these
people to try setting their Preferences default to NTSC HiRes Interlaced
(640 x 400) and see what happens. Please let me know of your results!
Bug Reports: Encouraged and welcomed. Please address any comments to the
author at any of the addresses above.
PLEASE READ THE CHANGES FILE BEFORE PROCEEDING TO USE THIS
NEW VERSION OF AMIGANTT. Thank you for your support.
