Information about “PC-PROJECT 1 OF 2 (ALSO 1341)”
PC-PROJECT lets you organize and control complex projects. It uses the
critical path method to produce a project schedule displayed in the form
of a Gantt chart. It is designed to help you manage complex jobs so you
can finish them on time and under budget.
PC-PROJECT views a project as a group of tasks or activities. When you
supply the estimated duration of each task and the relationships between
the tasks (the predecessor tasks and successor tasks), it automatically
calculates a schedule for you and displays it as a Gantt chart. With
the chart, you can see when each task should begin and end, the current
status of each task and whether or not the task is on the critical path.
Like a spreadsheet, PC-Project can immediately show you how any change
alters the project's finish date and cost. This allows you to try
repeated what-if scenarios until you have reached the optimal project
schedule.
PC-Project also has a resource worksheet to track payroll,supplies, and
equipment costs. The worksheet allows you to list your employees and
equipment and assign them to tasks, so you can coordinate your resources
efficiently. The resource worksheet tracks costs to date, anticipated
costs, final cost, and cashflow.
The program is completely menu-driven and contains excellent on-line
help, plus a detailed 75+ page on-disk manual. If you are moderately
familiar with project management and critical path method, you will be
able to use this program with relative ease. It is written in C for
increased speed.

THE PC-PROJECT RELEASE PACKAGE
PC-Project comes on two disks. The system disk contains the files necessary to
run PC-Project. The documentation disk contains a complete manual for
PC-Project. The files on each of the disks should be as follows:
THE SYSTEM DISK
README DOC This file.
PCPROJ EXE PC-Project main program.
INSTALL BAT Batch procedure to install PC-Project.
PCPROJ HLP Text of the PC-Project help screens.
YESNO EXE A program used only during installation.
SAMPLE A sample project.
MONO DEF Defaults for monochrome systems.
BW DEF Defaults for black/white, COMPAQ systems.
COLOR DEF Defaults for CGA, EGA, VGA.
PCPROJ DEF Copy one of above three here before starting.
FORM DOC Order form.
THE DOCUMENTATION DISK
README DOC This file again.
FORM DOC Order form again.
PCPROJ DOC The manual.
A description of the use of each of these files is found in the last appendix
of the manual. If you are missing any of these you do not have a valid
PC-Project release package. If you are unsure of your copy of PC-Project, you
can order an evaluation package from BIG PICTURE. It costs $10.00 and can be
purchased by writing to PC-Project; BIG PICTURE; Greenwood P.O. Box 30851;
Seattle, WA 98103. Use the order form on this disk.
INSTALLING PC-PROJECT
To install PC-Project on a hard disk, put the system disk in drive A and type:
a: (return)
install c (return)
to create \pcp directory on your C disk and transfer software. (Other drive
letters will work as well.)
To install PC-Project on a floppy disk type:
a: (return)
install b (return)
to create a floppy work disk with essential PC-Project files. You will be
required to insert a newly formatted disk in the B drive, so have one ready
before starting.
RUNNING PC-PROJECT
After PC-Project is installed, it may be invoked on a floppy disk system by
putting the work disk in drive A and typing the following:
a: (return)
pcproj (return)
On a hard disk system, type the following:
c: (return)
cd \pcp (return)
pcproj (return)
On a monochrome system, PC-Project can be run from the system disk without
going through the installation process. Put the system disk in drive A and
type:
a: (return)
pcproj (return)
It is recommended that you go ahead and use the installation process however.
This is because you will require a backup disk in any event and this will serve
quite well as a backup. In addition, this being shareware, you are encouraged
to share exact copies of the release package. If you should modify information
on the system disk, then you would be unable to pass the software on.
ORDER INFORMATION
To print order information, put either disk in A and type:
copy a:form.doc prn (return)
Substitute any other device or filename for prn to change destination of form.
DOCUMENTATION
To print the manual, put the documentation disk in A, line the print head up on
the very first line of the page, and type:
copy a:pcproj.doc prn (return)
This is going to take a large pile of continuous forms (about 90 pages).
IF YOU RECEIVED PC-PROJECT IN AN ARCHIVED FORM
If you received PC-Project in an archived form, and have a hard disk, you can
create the proper release package by the following procedure:
Format two floppy disks, each with no operating system. Label the first:
PC-Project 1.1 (C) 1986, 1988 James Howey All rights reserved
SYSTEM DISK
Label the second:
PC-Project 1.1 (C) 1986, 1988 James Howey All rights reserved
DOCUMENTATION DISK
Create a temporary directory to hold PC-Project files:
C:\>md temp (return)
C:\>cd \temp (return)
Now, use your archive program to extract all PC-Project files into the new
temporary directory.
Put the DOCUMENTATION DISK in drive A, and type:
C:\TEMP>copy *.doc a: (return)
The documentation disk is done and should be set aside. Put the SYSTEM DISK in
drive A and type the following:
C:\TEMP>del pcproj.doc (return)
C:\TEMP>copy *.* a: (return)
The system disk is done. Set it aside and clean up your disk as follows:
C:\TEMP>del *.* (return)
C:\TEMP>cd \ (return)
C:\>rd \temp (return)
You should be all set.
If you received PC-Project in an archived form and you have a two floppy
system, format two disks without the operating system, label them as above, and
extract the proper files to each of them as shown in the lists at the top of
this file.
You now have an official two disk release package to share with your friends
and co-workers. Install the software as instructed above.
Thank you for supporting shareware, and good luck with PC-Project.
UPDATES since 1.11
Added fixed costs to each task, allowing for materials, contracted
amounts, etc.
Added two new cash flow reports.
Modified printer driver to eliminate initial form feed, allow for
variable top and bottom margins, and perform better on an HP Laser
Jet.
