Description
-----------
MainLine is a Project Management Tool. It helps you easily develop a Gantt/Pert
chart for a project. Up to 150 tasks and milestones are supported, over a 5-year
period. A uniquely formatted chart is displayed on the screen. A large amount
of project activity is displayed in a relatively small area. A pop-up editing
window allows easy changes. The printed output of MainLine is exactly what
is seen on the screen. It is a text file suitable for electronic mailing, or
viewing with a word processor. A hardcopy of the chart can be used for
presentations - it transfers directly to "Viewgraphs" or other types of
transparencies. Other types of project data reports are also available.
Many other features are provided to ease working on larger projects, such as;
- ROLLUP provides a top-level summary of activities.
- IMPORT merges multiple small projects together.
- COPY repeats often-used groups of tasks/milestones
- SEARCH, FIND, and GOTO locate or sort tasks/milestones
if not presently on screen.
- RENUMBER "cleans up" the project if numerous edits have been
made over time.
Installation
------------
MainLine runs on IBM-style PCs and compatibles. 360K free memory
is needed. The files supplied on the diskette are listed and described
in the file PACKING.LST. The executable file and the documentation are
included in the compressed, self-extracting file MAINLINE.EXE. This file
must be copied into a working subdirectory on your hard disk, and
then executed. This will generate several files including the executable program
file ML.EXE. An installation batch file is provided to do this automatically.
