Plan for Windows 3.00

Plan is a project planner which is similar to, and compatible with, Microsoft Project. Plan for Windows is supported on Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP based desktop PCs.

Plan for Windows can be used in various ways:
As a viewer for Microsoft Project files - it can directly read and write Microsoft Project files (MPP/MPD/MPX can be read, MPD/MPX can be written).
As an inexpensive alternative to Microsoft Project. Plan doesnt have all the bells and whistles of Microsoft Project, but this makes it much easier to use. This makes it a highly cost effective alternative to Microsoft Project.
As a stand-alone project planning tool - it is a fully functional project estimation tool. It supports creation and editing of project plans, including recalculation of a project schedule.
Use in conjunction with Pocket Plan on a Pocket PC or Handheld PC. This allows you to access and update your project plans anywhere - at your desktop or in a meeting or anywhere else via your Pocket PC.

Key features of Plan for Windows include:
Project recalculation taking into consideration dependencies, working hours and holidays
Gantt charts
Holiday scheduling
Cost estimating
Project tracking
Can read and write Microsoft Project files

If using the product on Windows 95, 98, ME, NT or 2000 and you want to open or save files in the MPD file format then the Microsoft Data Access Components version 2.5 or greater must be installed (mdac_typ.exe). This component is included as standard with Windows XP, but must be installed on other versions of Windows.
Plan will function without MDAC, but when you come to save or open an MPD file it will prompt you to install MDAC if it is missing.
