AMIGANTT version 4.00.00
			     Read.me File

Enclosed on this disk is version 4.00.00 of AMIGANTT, a simple project
definition and management tool developed for the Amiga (TM).  Please read
through this file and the documentation file before beginning to use the
program.

This is the 4th general release of AmiGantt, available to registered users
and other shareware afficianatoes.  Thanks to Lattice Inc. and their version
5.04 C compiler, many new features of have been added while maintaining the
size of the program to still less than 150K!  This is likely to be the last
major enhancement to the program.  There will no doubt be maintenance
releases in the future.  For those that would like to register and receive
these releases automatically, the cost is $20.00  (Hope this doesn't scare anyone off)

To those of you who have been waiting for a new release of the program, my
apologies for taking almost a year to get version 4.00.00 out the door.
It's just been a case of too much to do and not enough time at the computer
to do it.  My thanks for being patient.

Notice:
Version 2.01.00 and above of AmiGantt makes use of functions within the
ARP (AmigaDos Replacement Program) library.  This library must be installed
in the LIBS directory of your system disk before attempting to use
AmiGantt 4.00.00.  A copy of arp.library file is included on the disk and
should be copied to LIBS:, then re-boot your Amiga before using AmiGantt
4.00.00  (once I get a copy of WB2.0, I will ensure that AmiGantt is
compatible -- at this point, it will work, but only if the ARP library is
also installed.)

(ARP library is used/distributed with permission of the ARP developers.)

Contents of the disk:

Main Directory
  AmiGantt     -- the main program, which can be run from CLI or Workbench
  AmiGantt.info-- an icon file (for Workbench access) which should be renamed
		  to AMIGANTT.info

Text Directory
  AMIGANTT.doc -- the full documentation set for AMIGANTT
  READ.ME      -- this file
  Changes4.doc -- things that were specifically changed in version 4.00.00

Libs Directory
  arp.library  -- library file for ARP functions used in AmiGantt which 
	          should be copied to the LIBS:  directory

Source Directory
  All the source files used in AmiGantt 4.00.00
  The .lmk file is the Lattice Make file I use to create AmiGantt

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.  I will change AmiGantt to make use of the default font in a
      maintenance release.

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.
