RELEASE NOTES -- SURETRAK PROJECT MANAGER 1.5
September 1995
Copyright 1995, Primavera Systems, Inc.

This file lists information you should be aware of when using SureTrak 1.5.  You may want to print this document and keep it for further reference.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
*  The order of menu commands and tools on the toolbar has changed from previous versions of SureTrak for Windows.  Therefore, pictures in the SureTrak User Manual showing the full project window do not correspond to similar pictures in the SureTrak Reference Manual.

*  Shortcut keystrokes for various commands have also changed to comply with Microsoft Office Compatibility standards.

*  SureTrak installs drivers for OLE version 2.03 in the \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory.  If you have Windows applications that use earlier versions of OLE, you may experience the "Call to Undefined Dynalink" error when running these applications.

*  In the detail windows, you can add or subtract values. To add to the value already in the cell, type += followed by the amount you are adding. To subtract from the value already in the cell, type -= followed by the amount you are subtracting. You can also replace the value already in the cell with a new sum: type =a+b (where a and b represent the values you want summed). SureTrak enters the sum of a and b in the cell. To replace the value in the cell with the difference between two values, type =a-b. SureTrak enters the difference between a and b in the cell. Note: this feature works in detail window cells that contain decimal places, but not percents.

*  SureTrak now includes the ability to show a thousands separator in numeric fields.  To show the thousands separator, choose Configure, SureTrak (Alt,C,R) and check the Show Thousands Separator box.

*  The following project templates are part of SureTrak 1.5. Access them on the New Project dialog box.

	_DEFAULT	Default template
	CNSTRCTN	Construction
	ENGRG		Engineering
	PUBLISH		Publishing
	EXPEDIT		Construction with Expedition
	MNFCTG		Manufacturing
	PHRMCTCL	Pharmaceutical
	SWDEVEL		Software Development
	TEMPLATE	General template project with U.S. holidays and standard codes
	TURNUTIL	Turnaround/Utility
	OUTLINE		Outline layout

*  Target dates are read-only for P3 (Concentric) type projects.

*  By default, OLE objects appear as icons. Change them to appear as the object itself by choosing Edit, Insert Graphic, then List.

*  FOR WINDOWS 95 USERS.  It may be necessary to reinstall the Primavera Plotter driver when running SureTrak under Windows 95.  If Windows 95 deletes the PRMPLOT files, use the following steps to reinstall the driver:

	1  Create a new directory (for example, C:\PRMPLOT).
	2  Copy PRMPLOT.XXD from the program files directory to the new directory;
	   in the new directory, rename PRMPLOT.XXD to PRMPLOT.DRV.
	3  Copy PRMPLOT.HLP from the WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory or from the program directory to
	   the new directory.
	4  Copy the OEMSETUP.INF file from the program directory to the new directory.
	5  In Control Panel, select Add Printer.
	6  Follow the Wizard steps until you get to the printer listing.
	   Click on the Have Disk button.
	7  Specify the directory you created as the directory.  Click the OK button.
	8  Double-click on Primavera Plot.
	9  Follow the remaining Wizard steps.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following items are useful if you will be using both the 1.0 and 1.5 versions of SureTrak Project Manager.

*  INSTALLING ON PATHWORKS.  You may experience problems installing SureTrak Project Manager 1.5 over an existing copy of SureTrak Project Manager 1.0.  Before installing 1.5, rename all the TEMPLATE.* files in the program directory to TEMP.*; if you do not rename the TEMPLATE project files you may receive this error: "Unable to create the specified directory.  Please enter a valid path."

*  In order for SBL scripts created with version 1.0 to run with version 1.5, you must recompile them with SoftBridge in SureTrak 1.5.

*  If you choose project groups as your default file type during setup, you must change the file type on the File Open dialog to see existing projects created in SureTrak format.

*  The first time you open P3 and Finest Hour projects, SureTrak 1.5 optimizes the project files so you will be able to open those projects quicker in the future.
