                     Changes from PANTT 4A(214) to 4B(231)



                                      NOTE

               All new commands are described in PANTT.HLP.  This
               is just a quick list of changes.



     1.  New command OUTPUT SCHEDULE, prints  tasks  in  calendar  order  giving
         dates and descriptions.

     2.  The HIGH-DENSITY pert placement algorithm has been changed (Improved?)

     3.  New command OUTPUT PATH-CHARACTER-LIST says what  tasks  go  with  what
         path character.

     4.  New command OUTPUT CRITICAL-PATH for project/task, will trace back  the
         critical path for a given task.

     5.  The message:
         THE NUMBER OF UNRESOLVED CONFLICTS WAS n
         has been replaced by:
                [n DEVELOPERS SCHEDULED]

     6.  The scheduler will now print a warning:
         % project/task HAS QUESTIONABLE DATES
         if the pert box will be surrounded by question marks.

     7.  Project will not begin or end on a weekend.  This is  just  a  cosmetic
         change  to the information in the pert box.  The scheduler already took
         weekends into account.

     8.  There is a new command in task mode:
                ALL-DEVELOPERS-REQUIRED
         This  forces  all  the  developers  listed  for  the   task   to   work
         simultaneously  at  their specified rates.  If this bit is set, all ten
         developers will spend one  day  at  a  design  review  instead  of  one
         developer working on the review for ten days.

     9.  The loop checker has been improved and now prints an error  message  of
         the form:
         ? LOOP DETECTED IN THE TASK DEPENDENCY LIST
         ? BLOCKED TASK:  E/1
         ? BLOCKING TASK: A/0
         ? TASKS IN LOOP:
         ?       A/0
         ?       THE/GOAL
         ?       A/3
         ?       E/2
         ?       E/1
