*********************************************************************** *********************************************************************** AmiGantt 4.02.00 Project Management Software Created: 92/06/01 by Don Tolson *********************************************************************** Attached to this archive is version 4.02.00 of AmiGantt, the project management software for the Amiga. This is an enhancement to the 4.00.00 version uploaded earlier, containing some new features and some bug fixes. The documentation (contained in AmiGantt.doc) has been changed to reflect the enhancements which are included in this version. While the program function has not changed drastically, it has been brought up to WB2.0 standards (as much as possible) and the documentation needed some work to describe these and beef it up in certain areas. BUG FIXES 1. The biggest repair has been for (I hope!) the situation where previously saved projects come up as completely BLACK when they are retrieved. Sorry about that! It doesn't happen on my machine, (an A1000 running WB 1.3) but I think I've found the problem and corrected it. Unfortunately, I can't say for sure that it will be able to read projects created under the faulty 4.00.00, as the saved files are corrupted (the colormap information is blanked.) 2. The Pert Chart display has been repaired to hold the last 5 rows on the screen, rather than letting them scroll off. 3. A problem where saving to iff files would cause the program to crash, or produce unreadable files, has been repaired. 4. If displaying a monthly project on the Gantt chart, pressing the right cursor key to move the calendar would have no effect. This has been fixed. 5. A problem with setting the date scroll gadget on initial loading of a has been repaired. 6. The positions of the Cancel and Execute gadgets on the AREXX Commands window have been swapped, as per WB2.0 standards. 7. A problem with ARP has been circumvented, which caused the program to crash when it was attempting to tell you that arp.library was not installed properly. 8. I've corrected a problem in Add Task, where the resource titles were not being saved. (Why didn't anyone mention this??) 9. Occassionally, garbage would show up in the project description fields when modifing the header on a new project. This has been fixed. 10. A memory allocation problem for the printer raster which was causing the program to hang has been solved via a requestor coming up to tell you there isn't enough CHIP memory for the print raster. ENHANCEMENTS 11. The biggest change most will notice is that when printing, a new option window is displayed which allows modification of most of the printing parameters. The biggest advantage here is being able to set the Width and Height of the graphic printout so you can 'scale' the output for the best looking print. Values greater than 1024 should be ignored by the program, and if I remember correctly, any less than about 400 is also ignored. Other than that, have a ball! 12. I've also adjusted the default colours a bit, to make them a bit softer, and a little less circussy. As always, you can adjust these via the Modify Colors menu option. 13. The general look and feel of the program has, as much as possible, been brought up to WB2.0 standards. It's not complete yet in this regard, but it's getting there. 14. An option to undo sorts has been added. Called 'Original Order' in the Sort Menu, it will return the tasks to the order they were in before the sort was selected. Note, that opening, saving, or moving tasks within the project will 'set' the task order and shut off this undo feature. 15. The Move Task feature has been finally completed. 16. The name of the AREXX port has been changed to WB2.0 standards. The new name is AMIGANTT.1 17. A check has been added to disallow saving to a blank file name. 18. AmiGantt will no longer present the 'Are you sure?' requestor on quitting after a Clear Project. Please let me know of any difficulties you encounter.
