                ProPoc Version 2.3 - Release Notes
                ==================================

Program Description
-------------------

ProPoc is a project planner.
It can handle multiple projects, activities, milestones, and resources.

Activities and milestones can depend on the completion of other
activities. Activities can share resources, even between
different projects.

ProPoc determines the StartDate and EndDate of each activity,
the ActualDate of each Milestone, the number of slack days,
and if a activity or milestone is critical.

The results are displayed in graphical or table form on screen or
can be printed in ASCII- or WORD-form (tables). The Professional version
allows output to SPREADSHEET and AGENDA, too.

For a detailed comparison between PROPOC V2 LITE and PROPOC V2 PROF
see FEATURES.TXT .


Platforms
---------

The program runs on PSION S3 and S3a/S3c, and Acorn PocketBook I & II
in native mode. ProPoc PROF runs only on S3a/S3c and Acorn Pocket Book II.

ProPoc can also run on the S3a-emulator where it can use
screen sizes up to 640x400.

( Set SERVER_PARAMS -X640 -Y400 -D in HCSERVER.PAR for the big screen)



Requirements
------------

ProPoc LITE:
The disk space requirements are 102-160k depending
on the options.

ProPoc PROF:
The disk space requirements are 152-275k depending
on the options.

When active, the system requires a minimum of about 40k main memory.
Some functions can require considerable more memory.

We recommend to install the system on flash SSD,
the PROJ folder (data drive) on the internal disk or on RAM SSD.

New in Version 2.32
-------------------
- (Prof) When jumping to the Agenda you can now force ProPoc to
  update the Agenda entries first, provided project data has changed.
  It is now possible to perform Agenda jumps on items that have not
  been exported to the agenda. ProPoc will use the start date of the item, then.

- (Prof) The Year symbol is not longer used to identify a project file in the Agenda.
  Instead, a new file ID is used (default value = file name).
  Optionally an S3c-entry code can be defined. On S3a this is used as year symbol.

- (Prof) All changes to alarm preferences (style, sound, alarm time, prewarn time, entry code)
  are now carried through to existing agenda entries.


New in Version 2.30
-------------------
- A new report type in the resource schedule:
  Cost: lists the resource cost per task (in outline mode per project).
        to allow for better cost/resource tracking.
        As other reports, this report can be printed or exported to spreadsheet, too.

- Resource schedule lists now show which tasks are critical or completed.
  critical: bold, completed: strike through, absent: italic.

- Export to HTML (ProPoc PROF)
  An optional module allows to create HTML documents containing descriptions
  of projects, tasks, and resource. These files can be viewed on PC, Mac, or UNIX
  with HTML-Browsers, or can be published to World-Wide-Web or intranets.

  To output to HTML, invoke the "Save as" function and select HTML.
  Then select the output directory and options. ProPoc will do the rest.

  For further details see HTML.TXT


- the active filters (show,but only) are now applied to print-outs, too.


New in Version 2.25
-------------------
- Task duration
  The duration can now be entered as a formula. Or press ENTER on the duration line
  to specify the duration as a from-to interval. Note, that the entered interval is
  only a convenient way to specify the number of workdays and has nothing to do with
  task start and end dates.
- Enter resource workloads as formulae
  Enter expressions such as
    3/16%   (3 days of 16) to compute the percent value of resource workloads.
- New option in Preferences, View
  The new option controls cueing, the display of task attributes as the cursor
  is moved. You can now choose to display the task type, the task description
  or nothing.

New in Version 2.20
-------------------
- Automatic link proposal
  When switched on (Preferences-Mode) and the cursor is placed on an elementary
  task and you insert a new elementary task, ProPoc will automatically propose a
  link to the task at the cursor position. This is to allow speedy definition of
  task sequences.

- In table mode items can now be sorted along various attributs in descending
  or ascending direction. To define the sort criterion, go to Preferencec-Define Table.
  Differing sort criteria are possible for different tables (Screen, Printer, Text, Word)
  and are saved and loaded with table styles.

- Resource calendar entries can now describe part time week patterns. To create an
  entry with a week pattern, insert a new entry, select "Part time = yes". In the
  following screen define the week pattern.


New in Version 2.15
-------------------
- New Agenda link provides seamless integration with Agenda.
  All Agenda entries created by ProPoc are now hotlinked with
  the corresponding ProPoc tasks:
   Press PSION-Shift-G to jump to the Agenda.
  And in the opposite direction:
   While in the Agenda press an application button assigned
   to ProPoc to jump to the corresponding ProPoc task.

  The layout of Agenda entries has changed. You can now define separate
  sets of attributes to critical and uncritical tasks. These attributes
  will be updated in the Agenda when the project changes and tasks become
  critical or are no longer critical.

  !!! Note !!!
  Because of the changed layout, Agenda entries from older ProPoc
  versions are not longer recognised. This can result in duplicate
  entries.

- The PSION-TAB key combination to call HyperPoc has been replaced
  by the menu function PSION-Shift-Y.
  To return from HyperPoc to ProPoc press Shift-System or the
  application button assigned to ProPoc.


New in Version 2.14
-------------------
- Alternating dates in upper/lower scale (normal/condensened mode)

New in Version 2.13
-------------------
- Printed manual in German language

New in version 2.10
-------------------

- Preferences rearranged in 3 groups

- Table styles (Preferences)
  Load/save current the table setup from/to file.
  A table style includes all table definitions
  (Screen/Printer/Textfile/Wordfile  in Outline/Detail mode),
  the table font, and all filter settings (PROF).
  Table style files are stored in the same directory
  as the project files and have the extension .PRS.
  Table style files can be used and reused from any
  project file.

  Example table styles:
   Normal.prs    Normal setting (to reset tables)
   Finance.prs   financial overview
   Crit.prs      overview about critical tasks (PROF)

- Summary tasks (PROF)
  Create a summary task with the insert function.
  To create a new task within the summary task place
  the cursor on the summary task or on a task within the
  summary task and use the insert function.

  To move a task into a summary task, use the Link function.
  Place the cursor on the task you want to move, invoke the
  Link function and navigate to the target summary task.
  Then press ENTER. ProPoc will automatically update WBS numbers.

  To move a task out of any summary task, use the Unlink function.

  You can nest summary tasks. There is not really a limit
  to the depth of nesting, but we suggest to use not more
  than 5 levels.

  You can restrict the displayed level of detail for
  each display mode separately (Preferences, View, Show parameter).

  Warning: If you delete a summary task, only the summary
  task will be saved into the clipboard, not its contents!



New in version 2.04
-------------------

- New printing options
  - Landscape format supported on some printers
  - Number of copies can be specified
  - collated/uncollated on some printers
  - detection of printer time out (out of paper, etc.)

- MPX-support for German version of MS Project added (PROF).
  This module is in beta status. Comments and help welcome.

  MPX-export indicates now code page 850 for correct
  code translation by the importing application.
  MPX-import will now translate ANSI-code (WINDOWS) into
  code page 850 (PSION).

- We have dropped the requirement that task names must be
  unique through the whole file. Now task names must only
  be unique within the same project.
  This has consequences for attached documents. Documents
   are identified by the task name. This allows you to
   use the same document for different, but identical
   named tasks.
   However, you can force documents to be identified
   with a unique task ID by including a special character
   (other than letter, numeric digit, or underscore)
   into the task name.
