INSTRUCTIONS:

The Time Line help files, TLHELP5.TXT and TLHELP5.IDX, are stored in
the \TL5\TEXT directory.  To modify the help files, TLHELP5.TXT must
first be decompressed:
! Copy MAKEHELP.EXE from the \TL5\INSTALL directory.
! Copy TLHELP5.TXT and TLHELP5.IDX to backup filenames.
! Enter the command MAKEHELP/X HELPTEXT.TXT TLHELP5.

Edit the HELPTEXT.TXT file with a "full ASCII" editor.  Use an editor
that is designed to handle the full 256 ASCII characters, such as "Brief".

After editing, the HELPTEXT.TXT file must be compressed:
! Enter the command MAKEHELP HELPTEXT.TXT TLHELP5.
! This produces a new set of help files, TLHELP5.TXT and TLHELP5.IDX.

Use these directions while editing:

  A "$" in the leftmost column indicates a key.
!CAUTION:  These keys should never be changed!
  Keys for menu help:
! A "$" starts the key.
! Followed by "" (ASCII-227).
! Four letters from Menu prefix.
! Three letters from Menu name.
! Example:  Key for File/Save would be $FILESav
  Keys for form help:
! A "$" starts the key.
! Followed by "" (ASCII-226).
! Four letters indicating the form (usually, but not always the form name).
! A one- or two-digit number indicating the position of the field
#on the form (first field is "0").
! Example:  Key for Critical Path field on Filter Form would be $FLTR4
  Keys for view, list, and dialogue box help:
! Internally generated.
! The best way to find these keys is to search for a recognizable phrase
#from the current helptext.
  Keys for help on editable columns:
! Begin with "$"
! Come from phrases in the phrases file, word 21 of the column definition.
! Begin with "$TCOL" for Task columns.
! The number at the end of the key is the internal number of the column.
  A key preceded by "." is a subroutine (used more than once).
!When you change one of these, be sure that the change is appropriate
!in all situations where the routine is used.
  A slash (/) at the beginning of a line takes a "page break".
! Single slash takes break if not enough lines left to display remaining
#help.  (Usually, double screens of help can be shown in compressed mode.)
! Double slash ALWAYS takes break.
! Slash followed by a number takes break if fewer than that number of lines
#remain on current help box.
  Attributes (highlights) are added as follows:
! Enter a "" character (ASCII-253)
! Enter a letter indicating the attribute:
#s - usually green
#u - usually yellow
#w - usually red
#Note: color of attribute depends on current video configuration.
  Attributes carry to the end of each line, or until another attribute
!is encountered.
  Entering "" (two ASCII-253's) changes back to default attribute.
  Add an item to the index (under the key "$INDEX") as follows:
! Type the index entry into the list.
! On the same line, add a Help key to be displayed for the entry.
! Index entries must be manually alphabetized.
  Make a related-item menu (at bottom of help box) as follow:
! Enter "+", and the menu items, separated by commas.
! On the next line, enter "=", and the referenced help keys, separated
#by commas.

!MM-DD-YY!Month DD, Y""will do.  If you leave out the year, Time

>can be entered, as well.  Use am/pm, or
!2pm"2:00pm"14:00%24-hour clock.)

  To have times appear with dates, select Date and Time on Options Form.

  Common words & math symbols can also be used.
! uWords such as today, tomorrow, yesterday, & asof can serve as dates.
! uMath symbols (+ and -) can add and subtract time from dates.
! uTime units (minute(mi), hour(h), day(d), week(w), month(mo), 
#year(y)) can be added and subtracted to dates.

  To change the way dates are displayed, select Configure / Date Formats.
/4
  If you have chosen to use Fiscal Years, entering a date without the 
!letters "FY" will indicate the calendar year, while dates containing
!"FY" will be fiscal years.
!With Fiscal Years, only date formats 1, 2, 3 and 4 can be used (change
"with Configure / Date Formats).

$.FILESEQ
DOS establishes a maximum number of files that can be open at any one
time.  This limit can be changed by adding a line such as FILES=20 to
your \CONFIG.SYS file and rebooting.

We recommend 20.  Remember that RAM-resident programs such as Ready!
and SideKick use files themselves.  If you use RAM-resident programs,
you may need to increase this FILES limit.

uTime Line Memory Analysis  sDOS Memory: *3*
sh

You have u*3* of DOS memory available.  DOS memory is the storage on the
memory chips inside your computer located from 0 to 640K and is the
principal memory available to all executing programs and their data.

Increasing the amount of this kind of memory will increase the size of
schedules that will fit in Time Line and also improve the program speed.
Each 1K increase will allow approximately ten additional tasks.

sHow to increase DOS memory:
 Eliminate unnecessary TSR programs.
 Remove unused device drivers from your config.sys file.
 Reduce the BUFFERS in your config.sys file.
 Remove unneeded network drivers.  Time Line does not require NETBIOS.
 Avoid using large shell programs, such as Microsoft Windows (r).
 Use a memory manager such as QEMM, 386Max or LANSpace.

uTime Line Memory Analysis  sXMS Memory: *4* UMB, *6* EMB, *9* HMA
sh

XMS memory is used by Time Line to store data and speed up the program.
It comes in three flavors: "HMA" (High Memory Area), "UMB" (Upper Memory
Area), and "EMB" (Extended Memory Blocks).

XMS storage is available to Time Line when you have a high-memory manager
installed such as the HIMEM.SYS program from Microsoft (included with
Time Line), or the QEMM (r) memory manager from Quarterdeck, or DOS 5.x.
Note: If HIMEM.SYS is used, however, the UMB is not available.

HMA and UMB memory increases the capacity of the Time Line program.
Time Line uses EMB as a disk cache to speed up the program.

You currently have u*4* of UMB memory left (not already in use), and
u*6* of EMB memory in use or available to Time Line.  If present,
HMA will have 64KB total available.  There is u*9* free HMA.
/
uTime Line Memory Analysis  sEMS Memory: *8*
sh

Expanded, or "EMS", memory is not as fast as conventional DOS memory, but
is still much faster than a mechanical disk drive, so Time Line uses this
to store data whenever it is available, greatly improving speed.

EMS memory is provided by add-in cards such as Above Board (from Intel)
and RAMPage Plus (from AST Research) or other LIM EMS compatible boards.

It is also provided by 386-memory managers such as QEMM and 386Max, and
is available under Windows 3.0 Enhanced mode.

You currently have u*8* of this memory installed and available to 
Time Line.
/
uTime Line Memory Analysis  sVideo Memory: *12*
sh

VIDEO memory increases the schedule capacity of the program.

VIDEO memory is memory "borrowed" from your video card.  If you have a VGA
or EGA card with at least 256KB of memory on it, Time Line can gain from
84 to 124KB of extra memory for its use.

The amount of VIDEO memory available to Time Line now is u*12*.

This memory is not available when you run under Windows (r), unless you
use the PIF file supplied with your Time Line program.  Using this PIF
file, Time Line, when run from under Windows, takes the full screen and
disallows the ALT-TAB key combination, so that this VIDEO memory will be
available to Time Line.

uUpdating Hints=Print out with [Print Screen]

We recommend the following sequence when updating the schedule.

1. Change Force Future Tasks to "No", and Recalculation to "Manual" on 
!the Calculations Form.
2. If you are using a "manual" As-of Date, change the As-of Date to the
!date for which you are updating (Options Form).
3. Update the appropriate task information (using Assisted Update or
!the Needs Update filter).
4. Return Force Future Tasks to "Yes" on the Calculations Form, if desired.

A Status or Assignments Report, formatted as a turnaround document, helps
gather updated information.

  Group the report by resource to send to each team member, or by task
!if one person is responsible for all updating.
  Select columns such as percent achieved, duration, and end date.  Add
!blank columns ("B" following width) for any columns needing updates.

$CALC
uCalculator
sh

Time Line has a built-in calculator that is accessed as follows:

  Press [F2] on a numeric field.
  The calculator appears as a one-line form.  The current field value is
!placed in the calculator as a starting entry.

  The following operators can be used in mathematic expressions.
!+ to add%- to subtract%* to multiply$/ to divide

  Multiplication and division are executed before addition and
!subtraction.  Operations in parentheses are done first, and can change
!the above order.  For example, "2 + 2 * 4 = 10" but "(2 + 2) * 4 = 16".
  Macros can take advantage of the calculator, with or without the form.
!For example, to multiply the current field by 2: {F2}{End}*2{F10}
  Math can be used in numeric fields (without using the Calculator).  For
!example, task duration could be entered "15 * 1.20".  (This would
!increase the current duration, 15, by 20 percent.)

Several Time Line settings control whether a resource's unavailable time
is taken into account.  In general, however, for work to be scheduled:
  a work period must be available on the Workhours Calendar,
  the date must be a work date on the Dates Calendar,
  the resource must be available (the Resource Calendar).

compression utility (such as PKZIP), if uploading to the Symantec BBS.
$COLN
uColumn Names
sh

Time Line provides many different columns of data to describe tasks, such
as Task Name, Duration, and Proportional Percent Achieved.  User-specific
information can be entered, also, into any of 50 auxiliary columns.

Using the Custom Column Form ([F2] on column name), the name of the column
(plus associated information) can be changed:
   on the list
   on the Gantt view
   in reports
   in graphs.
$CONTOUR
uResource Contouring
sh

With resource contouring, you may specify that a task is to be worked on
only when the assigned resources are not working on higher-priority tasks.
You specify this condition by entering the following:
  Task Form,'sEffort in the Driven By field
4sSplit Assgn in the Unavail. field.
  Calculations Form, sYes in the Resource Leveling field.

For example, Bob is assigned 100% to a resource contoured task (Task A)
with three days of effort, scheduled to start on Monday.  He is also
assigned 50% to a higher-priority task (Task B) of two days, scheduled to
start Tuesday.  In this situation, Time Line:
  schedules Bob 100% to Task A on Monday
  schedules him 50% to both Task A and B on Tuesday and Wednesday
  schedules the remaining day of effort for Task A on Thursday.
$COPYPAST
uCopy and Paste
sh

You can copy information from one place, and paste it somewhere else.

  Copy a text or number field, and paste it into another field.
  Copy information from a layout column, and paste it into another column.
  Combine the above.  Copy field to column, or column to field.

Follow these steps to copy and paste form fields:

  Move to the field you want to copy, and press [Alt/C].
  Move to the other field, and press [Alt/V] to paste the information.

Follow these steps to copy and paste information from columns:

  Move to the cell (column and row) you want to copy.
  Press [F2] to edit the cell, then [Alt/C] to copy.  Press [Enter].
  Move to the other cell.
  Press [F2] to edit the cell, then [Alt/V] to paste.  Press [Enter].
$COST
uCosting
sh

Many factors can contribute to the cost of a project, such as:

  Resource assignments.
  Materials used.
  Equipment used and/or leased.
  Payments to outside contractors and vendors.

Time Line allows for the planning and tracking of all these costs, and
more.  Resources can be assigned a cost rate and the labor cost
automatically computed for each task.  Materials can be defined as uunit
ucosts  the cost per unit is defined, and a number of units allocated to
each task.  Similarly, Time Line allows entry of uvariable costs, such as
those associated with leasing, and ufixed costs, such as payments scheduled
for vendors and contractors.
+Quit,Index,Resources,Unit,Variable,Fixed
=Quit,Index,SCHERes,COSTU,COSTV,COSTF
$COSTF
uFixed Costs
sh

The fixed cost type is used to track miscellaneous project expenditures.

If the expense varies from task to task, and if it has no relationship to
the task's duration or a multiple of units, then it probably should be
defined as a fixed cost on the Resource/Cost Form.

To assign a fixed cost, pick its name from the Resource/Cost List.  Then,
on the Fixed Cost Assignment Form, enter a dollar amount.
$COSTU
uUnit Costs
sh

The unit cost type is used to track project materials, or any other
expense that can be calculated as a multiple of a basic unit.

If a "per unit" cost is known for a particular item, and the item can be
assigned to tasks as a multiple of that basic unit, then it should be
defined as a unit cost on the Resource/Cost Form.  Unit cost rates may
vary over time, and are changed on the Resource/Cost Form.

To assign a unit cost, pick its name from the Resource/Cost List.  Then,
on the Unit Cost Assignment Form, enter a number of units.  (The dollar
amount is calculated by multiplying the entered number of units by the
defined cost rate.)  Alternately, enter a dollar amount and have Time Line
calculate the equivalent number of units.
+Quit,Index,Varying Rates
=QUIT,INDEX,RSRC7
$COSTV
uVariable Costs
sh

The variable cost type is used to track periodic project expenditures.

If an expenditure has a direct relationship to the task's duration (such
as rental fees) and a periodic rate is known, then it should be defined as
a variable cost.  The rate of a variable cost can change over time, and
are changed on the Resource/Cost Form.

To assign a variable cost, pick its name from the Resource/Cost List.
Then, on the Variable Cost Assignment Form, enter a number and percentage
of assignment (usually 1 @ 100%).  (Time Line calculates the dollar amount
by multiplying the entered number/percentage by the defined cost rate and
the current duration of the task.)  Alternately, enter a period of time,
and have Time Line calculate the equivalent percentage of assignment.

wCAUTION: If variable costs are assigned as a period of time, the cost
'will not automatically vary as the task duration is changed.
'Only the percentage of assignment will vary.

uUsing Time Line on a Laptop
sh

  The lack of a numeric keypad on most laptops means that you will have
!to use the number key equivalents to the shifted arrow combinations:

$LAYOUTS
uLayouts
sh

Layouts control the appearance of information on the screen and, to some
extent, on reports.  The Gantt, PERT, and Work Tree views are each
controlled by a layout.  For more information, select an option below.
+Quit,Index,Gantt Layout,PERT and Work Tree Layout
=Quit,Index,SCHELay,20800
$LOOP
uDependency Loop
sh

A loop is a circular chain of dependencies:  (A  B  C  A)

When this condition occurs, Time Line is unable to compute the schedule.

  Task A%&0A loop would be caused by joining
  Task B-&(Task C (as a predecessor) to Task
P Task C5&  A (as the successor).

If Recalc is set to "Automatic" (Options Form), the loop is detected
immediately.  Press Undo [Sh/F10] to remove the loop.

If Recalc is set to "Manual", Time Line does not detect the loop until the
schedule is recalculated [F9].  Using Undo, you will have to recalc after
each Undo to find where the loop was introduced.  Alternately, use one
of the loop detection techniques described on the next screen.

/
To locate tasks in a loop:

  Display the Status column - tasks in a loop are marked "L".
  Filter for tasks "involved in a loop".
  Display Dependency List for last changed task - tasks in loop have "L".
  Change to PERT view - view isolates tasks in loop.

You must clear the loop before continuing to build or modify the schedule.
$MACROHNT
uHints for Using Macros
sh

The following techniques will help your macros operate more efficiently.

  Start the macro at an easily-remembered place  with your cursor on the
!task you want to change, for instance.
  End the macro in a way that prepares for a repeat of the macro  by
!moving down to the next task, for instance.
  On forms, reset any fields that might have changed between uses of the
!macro.  Better to be safe than sorry; reset a field if you're not sure.
  In multiple-choice fields, select by pressing the first letter.
! [Ctl/Left] always jumps to first choice; [Ctl/Right] to last.
  For spreadsheet editing, press [Sh/Tab] to make sure the macro starts
!in the Spreadsheet area.
  For report macros, create layouts (and filters) to be used ONLY for
!reports.  Select them as part of the macro.
  uAdvanced: Use a Journal Note as a log for long macros.  At various
+points, press [Alt/F2], edit a "Log" note, go to end, make
+entry.  Review when macro completes.
$MULTI
uMulti-project Scheduling
sh

The Outline feature facilitates multi-project scheduling.  You can con-
solidate several schedules with File/Combine, analyze their interactions
and reschedule where necessary, then save the individual jobs separately
using File/Save (Extract).  In addition to the outline, you will find the
following features useful.

  uPriority*to favor particular projects.
  uJournal Notes%to record conflicts with other schedules.
  uLayouts and Filters to highlight particular projects.
  uKeyword, WBS, OBS!to code project groupings.
  uResource Leveling!to resolve cross-project resource conflicts.

A full description of multi-project scheduling is contained in Chapter 18
of the Time Line Manual.
$NETVIEW
>TM.NETW
$NOTES
uNotes
sh

In scheduling, it is critical to communicate information about the project
to others.  To help with this, Time Line provides notes as a way of
annotating tasks, resources, reports, and many other components of the
schedule.  Notes may be permanently attached to:

  Tasks
  Resource/cost names
  Layout names
  Filter names
  The schedule as a whole (printed as part of the report heading)

In addition, free-floating Journal notes can be made from anywhere in the
program.  The names of Journal notes are maintained in an outlined list.

$OUTLINE
uOutline
sh

Time Line uses an outline to organize groups of tasks.  Each related task
group can have a summary task, that automatically represents a consoli-
dation of the group.  As you see in the example below, summary tasks hold
the summarized timing, cost, and resource assignments for all tasks
indented beneath them.

><.TLSAMPL

This outlining can be carried as many levels deep as necessary to fully
represent the complexity of the project.
+Quit,Index,Components
=Quit,Index,OUTLCOM
$OUTLCOM
uComponents of the Outline
sh

An outline of tasks contains the following components:  parent, child,
summary, detail.  A parent task summarizes its child tasks.  A child is
summarized by its parent.  A summary task summarizes at least one other
task.  A detail task does not summarize other tasks; it has no child tasks.
A family is a parent task, all its children, all their children, and so on.

$Q&A
uCommon Questions and Answers
sh

uQ: Why don't the Shift/Arrow key combinations work on my computer?
A: On keyboards with two keypads, you must use the numeric keypad, not the
!separate arrow keys.  On laptops, you may need to use these numbers:
!8 [Sh/Up], 2 [Sh/Dn], 4 [Sh/Lft], and 6 [Sh/Rt].
uQ: When I press [F2] to edit a task or [Ins] to add one, I get the Task
!uForm at times, but not always.  Why is that?
A: When editing a task [F2], the Task Form appears when the cursor is in
!the task bars area.  When it's in the spreadsheet area, the current
!column is edited at the top of the screen.  (Change between these two
!areas with [Tab].)  To be assured of getting the Task Form, edit the
!task with [Ctrl/F2].
#When adding tasks [Ins], you get the Task Form whenever the cursor is
!in the task bars area, or in any column OTHER than Task Name.  With the
!cursor in the Task Name column, a blank Task Name field is presented at
!the top of the screen.  Other task data is then added in other columns.
uQ: How do I print a report on the printer?  It just goes to the screen.
A: Press [/], then [R], and [F].  Change the first field to Printer.
/
uQ: Why is a task being pushed out in time?  The start date I entered on
!uthe Task Form is still there, but the task is being scheduled later.
A: Other factors may be affecting the start date.  Is a predecessor
!pushing out the task's start date?  (Check with [F4].)  If so, you can
!force the task to start on the entered date by adding the Start Date
!Restriction column to the current layout, and changing it to "Must
!Start".  Is Resource Leveling on?  If so, a resource overload may be
!delaying the start of the task.  Try increasing the task's priority.
uQ: How do I change the display width of the task bars?  How do I change
!uthe Gantt date scale?
A: Press [F6], then [F2].  Change the layout name to save both old and new
!scales (or leave the name as-is to just change the current layout).
!In the Scale field, enter a larger time period to shorten the bars or a
!smaller time period to lengthen the bars.  Press [F10], [F10].
uQ: My summary bar doesn't show achievement (broken bar), even though some
!uof its detail tasks are done.  Why not?
A: You may need to change the way Time Line rolls up achievement to
!summary tasks.  On the Calculations Form (Schedule/Calculations), press
![F1] on the Weighting field, and learn about the options available to
!you, then select one that fits the way you're tracking progress.
/
uQ: When I print my report, a line labeled "Dependencies" appears under
!uthe report heading.  How can I get rid of it?
A: You have "showed dependencies" [Sh/F4] before printing the report.
!Return to the Gantt view, choose Schedule/Filters/Clear, then reprint
!the report.
uQ: Why won't Time Line let me enter a date in the Date Range fields of the
!uGantt Report Form?
A: Since the Gantt Report follows the on-screen layout, you may not be
!showing task bars on the current layout.  Press [F6], [F2], and examine
!the field labeled "Show Task Bars".
uQ: How can I print out my Journal Notes?
A: From within the note you wish to print, press [F8].  Enter the name
!"PRN" (or another DOS device name such as LPT2 or COM1 if your printer
!is attached to a port other than the 1st parallel port).  Press [F10]
!and answer "Proceed" to the "File Exists" message.  To insert a
!form-feed character, hold down the [Alt] key and enter "012" on the
!numeric keypad.
uQ: When I installed, I chose Compressed Video.  How do I change it back?
A: In the \TL5 directory, edit the TL.BAT file.  Remove the words "DISPLAY
!IS COMPRESSED".
/
uQ: Why does Time Line delete the tasks I've set to "Done"?
A: Check the current Select filter [Sh/F7].  If it's set to show tasks
!with Achievement less than 100%, choose Schedule/Filters/Clear.
!The "deleted" tasks will reappear.
uQ: I keep getting the message "This Option Not Installed".  Why?
A: Time Line gives this error message when the FILES statement in your
!computer's CONFIG.SYS file is either too low or doesn't exist.  Edit
!the CONFIG.SYS file (in the root directory); increase the FILES
!statement to FILES=30.  Then reboot [Ctrl/Alt/Del] the computer.
uQ: How can I copy a non-editable field and paste it into an Aux column?
!uCan I do this with the one-key macro?
A: Non-editable fields can be copied just like editable fields.  (Press
![Alt/C] after pressing [F2] on the appropriate column data.)  Time Line
!will display the message "...cannot edit this column..." but the data
!will be copied nonetheless, and can be pasted with [Alt/V].
#To automate this process with a one-key macro, create a layout with
!the two columns side-by-side.  With your cursor on the cell you want to
!copy, press [Alt/R].  Record the macro: [F2], [Alt/C], [Esc], [Right],
![F2], [Sh/F9], [Alt/V], [Down], [Left].  (The last two keystrokes
!prepare for the next playback.)  Press [Alt/R] again to stop recording.
/
uQ: Why do I keep getting the message "Date Out of Range" when trying to
!uadd a task?
A: Time Line cannot add a task beyond the range of the Master Calendar.
!To increase the range, change Precision (Calendar Settings Form) to a
!larger unit of time.  For example, if Precision is set for 15 Minutes,
!change it to Half-Hour.  (For tasks scheduled on the quarter-hour, this
!will round off their timing to the half-hour.)
$SLACK
uSlack
sh

Slack (or float) refers to the extra time in a schedule - the amount of
time a task could be delayed without affecting other tasks.  Time Line
calculates two types of slack, Free Slack and Total Slack.

Free Slack is the amount of time a task's end date could be delayed before
affecting another task's start date.  In the interconnected world of
critical path scheduling, a task with Free Slack enjoys a certain amount
of independence, at least as much as the amount of its Free Slack.

Total Slack, on the other hand, is the amount of time a task's end date
could be delayed before affecting a succeeding fixed task that is marked
"Force Critical", or the end of the schedule.

sNOTE: If a top-level family has no dependencies to other families, its
$slack is computed as if it were a schedule of its own.  In other
$words, Total Slack will be computed to the latest date in the family.

$TLSWAP
uTime Line Swap Files
sh

uTLSWAP:  If insufficient RAM Memory (especially EMS) is available to
Time Line, it uses disk space for its working file, named TLSWAP.$$$.  The
location of this file is the default directory (usually \TL5), although
this location can be changed with the SwapVol runtime parameter.  If a
second copy of the TLSWAP file is required (as is often the case on a
network), it is named TLSWAP.$$1.  TLSWAP files are automatically deleted
by Time Line upon exit from the program.

uExit to DOS Swap Volume: When plotting graphics, or when executing
"Exit to DOS / Proceed" or "Exit to DOS / Run a Program", Time Line
creates a temporary image of itself on disk before it releases its DOS
memory to the next program.  The location of the two files it creates
(named TLMEMORY.SWP and TLCODE.SWP) is the default directory, or the
directory specified by the SwapVol parameter.  If your Time Line session
ends abnormally (a power failure, for instance), these two files are left
on the disk for two days, then automatically deleted by Time Line.  Refer
to Appendix C for details.

uPresenting Time Line Project Management Software
sh

Welcome.  If you're new to Time Line, this is a good place to start.  In
this introduction, we'll lay out some basic project management concepts
and show you how you can make them fly with Time Line.  (Don't worry.  We
won't go into a lot of depth here.  Just enough to get you started.)

Another reason for a quick introduction - Time Line is eager to help!
From anywhere in the program, you ask for assistance by pressing the
u[F1] key.  Menu selections, entry blanks in Time Line's forms, on
lists of options - [F1] helpfully describes each one.  And for browsing,
the Help Index is nearby - as close as u[Sh/F1].

OK, let's get started.

uTasks are the basic building blocks of a good project schedule.

  uSmooth surface
  uLay tar coat
  uPour asphalt

Tasks are grouped with summarizing tasks, called uparent tasks.

  uPave Driveway
#Smooth surface
#Lay tar coat
#Pour asphalt

In this manner, a list of things to do is compiled.
/
sh
Estimates of utiming are made.

31st2nd3rdĿ
  Pave Driveway
#Smooth surface  u& 3 days %
#Lay tar coat"u 1 day 
#Pour asphalt"u 1 day 

A sequence of events, or uprecedence, is established.

31st2nd3rd4th5thĿ
  Pave Driveway
#Smooth surface  % 3 days & u(1)
#Lay tar coat: 1 day  u(2)
#Pour asphaltB 1 day  u(3)

And the schedule begins to take shape!

/
sh
At this point, the parent task can usummarize the timing.

  Pave Driveway$u. 5 days /
#Smooth surface  & 3 days '
#Lay tar coat< 1 day 
#Pour asphaltD 1 day 

And if a change is made, the schedule can be uinstantly recalculated.

  Pave Driveway$* u4 days *
#Smooth surface  " u2 days "
#Lay tar coat3 1 day 
#Pour asphalt; 1 day 

So here's the power of project management - the ability to create a model
of the project, and see the effect of any change on the overall schedule.
/
sh
Who works on projects?  uPeople.#(The chart below, known as a
BuGantt Chart, can show all of this.)

Project management can vary the timing for tasks based on the number of

Having several ways of looking at the project helps focus on the problem
at hand:

Flexible planning and accurate tracking - all of a sudden you're on top of
your projects instead of being weighed down by them.

/
sh
Whether during the planning phase or the tracking phase, you always need
to stay in touch with the others involved - your team, management, and of
course vendors and subcontractors.  That's where reporting comes in.

So what's the best way to get started?

! Take the Time Line Tutorial.
! Skim the Discussion sections of the Time Line Manual.
! Start up Time Line itself - dive right in, using the Help facility.
# [F1] on all menu selections.
# [F1] on as many form fields as you can find.
# [Shift/F1] and read all Index entries.
! Create your first schedule using Assist / New Schedule.
! Try things out - remember that [Shift/F10] (the Undo key) can
#back you out of many a tight and confusing place.

This completes the introduction.  Best wishes for timely scheduling.

P.S.  On the next screen, we've included a page of hints for you.

$TRACKING
uTracking
sh

Careful planning and clear communication boost the chances for a project's
success.  Once the project is under way, however, it is just as important
to monitor its progress, identify potential problems, and recover from
unforeseen delays.  That's where tracking comes in.

The following facilities are available.
  Fields to track actual work accomplished and expenses incurred.
  An estimate of percent achieved that rolls up to summary levels.
  A "baseline" version of the schedule, freezing planned dates and costs
!for later comparison with actual progress.
  An Assisted Update feature and Needs Update filter to help in
!identifying tasks that should be reviewed.
  Larger versions of the Task and Assignment Forms, providing the extra
!detail needed for effective cost tracking.
  Calculated columns of information for display on Gantt view and in
!reports, that accurately analyze earned value.
$WEEKNUM
uWeek Numbers
sh

Dates may be identified by means of a week numbering system, wherein each
week within the calendar year is assigned a week number.  The method used
by Time Line in calculating week numbers is based on international
standard ISO 8601, using the following definitions and conventions:

  A "calendar week" is seven days long and starts on Monday.
  The first calendar week in any given year is the one which includes
!the first Thursday of that year (in the Gregorian calendar, this is
!the same calendar week which includes 4 January).
  Weeks are numbered sequentially, starting with the first calendar week
!and continuing up to the first calendar week of the following year.
!By convention, the first or last calendar week in a year may include
!days from two adjacent years, so that every calendar week has exactly
!seven days.  For example, 31 December 1991 is included in "Week 1" of
!1992, because the calendar week which contains 4 January 1992 begins
!on Monday, 30 December 1991.
/
  Time Line uses a week number date representation of the form "DDYYWW",
!where DD is an abbreviation for the day of the week, YY is the last
!two digits of the year, and WW is the calendar week number.  For
!example, the week number representation of Wednesday, 8 January 1992,
!is "WE9202".

In order to use a week number date format, the beginning of a Standard
Year must be defined as "January" (Calendar Settings Form).
$WINDOWS
uRunning Time Line Under Windows
sh

Time Line is able to run as a DOS program under Microsoft Windows (tm).
The following points address this type of installation:

  Do not use the Time Line TLVIDMEM addin (using video card memory to
!increase the memory available to Time Line) unless you use the Windows
!.PIF file supplied with Time Line.
  If available memory and/or processing speed is an issue, do not run
!Time Line under Windows.  Memory and processing speed are reduced under
!Windows.
$ASSI1-U
uASSIST:  UndoS[Sh/F10]
sh

The Undo feature reverses out the last change made to a task.  If
repeated, it backs up another step.  You can undo as many steps as are
specified in the Undo/Redo Limit field of the Options Form.

  Backs out changes to:
! Tasks (add, change, delete)
! Dependencies (add, change, delete)
! Resources (add, change, delete)
! Outline movement (indent, outdent, move up/down)
  Will NOT undo:
! Changes to the calendar, layouts, filters, or reports
! Changes to files on disk (retrieve, save)
! Sorts (use Last Manual Order instead)
! Changes made before the last File/Save.

$ASSI2-R
uASSIST:  RedoR[Ctl/F10]
sh

After undoing several steps, you may need to retrace your steps.  Redo
just reverses the steps backed out with Undo.

  If you undo too far through a series of steps, use Redo to move back.
  The combination of Undo and Redo allow you to move back and forth
!through a series of changes.
  Undo and Redo help to see the "before and after" of a change to the
!schedule.  Make the change, then toggle back and forth from the change
!to the original with the Undo and Redo keys.

$ASSIHel
uASSIST:  Help
sh

In Time Line, the Help System is context-sensitive.  That means that Help
is always aware of the area of the program you're in, and offers
information about that area when you press [F1].

%$'  [F1] is the Help key.  With your cursor on menu
%  F1  *names, form fields, lists, or views, press [F1]

sh

Help screens (such as this one) have a list of choices at the bottom.

When one of the choices is "More", it means that additional information is
available on this topic.

The choice "Backtrack" allows you to move backwards to revisit screens you
have already seen.

Often there are other choices as well.  These bring you to screens with
information about related topics.

  To be safe, save the schedule (File/Save) before going to the tutorial.
  When you leave the tutorial, you will be returned to your schedule as
!you left it.
$ASSIUpd
uASSIST:  Update
sh

Typically, you'll want to review and update the schedule while work is
being done.  This might involve a small or large amount of effort,
depending on the amount of detail you need to track.  Assisted Update
helps make this process more efficient.

  Given the current As-of Date, Assisted Update checks for tasks whose
!status should have changed (Future to Started, Started to Done).
  For each, it displays a message asking if status should be changed.
  Gives opportunity to edit Task Form to enter new dates and/or durations.
  Stops on ALL started tasks if large Task Form selected on Options Form.
!Gives opportunity to update Percent Achieved and estimate to complete.

sh

Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) codes indicate each task's position in
the outline (hierarchy).  The WBS codes are especially important when
exporting and reimporting tasks.  The WBS Manager offers an automated way
of entering these codes quickly.

  Use the WBS Manager Form to specify the pattern, or "map", for the
!codes.  This form offers flexibility in structuring the codes.
  Assist/WBS can number (renumber) all tasks, or just the current family.
  Other options available:

$CALEDat
uCALENDAR:  Dates
sh

With Hour precision (Calendar Settings Form), Time Line maintains a
calendar from January 1, 1983 through December 31, 2017.  The Dates
Calendar allows entry of work and nonwork dates during this period.
As shipped, Time Line shows all federal holidays.

  Change a date between Work and Non Work by pressing the [Spacebar].
  For macros, [Ins] sets a date to Non Work; [Del] restores it to Work.
  Move among the dates of a month with the [Arrow] keys.
  Move from month to month with [Tab]/[Sh/Tab] or [PgDn]/[PgUp].
  The Dates Calendar can be changed at any time during the scheduling
!process.  Time Line will schedule tasks around added nonwork dates.
  For a specific date to be scheduled for work, its day of the week must
!have workhours available on the Workhours Calendar.

When scheduling work, Time Line must know certain facts about your work
calendar: the number of hours in your day, the number of days in your
week, the first day of your week, and the first month of your year.  You
enter these site standards into the Calendar Settings Form.

  The form also allows the setting of scheduling precision (with a
!variety of settings from minute to hour).
  After changing Dates or Workhours Calendars, check Settings to make
!sure the standards still match your scheduling.
$CALEWor
uCALENDAR:  Workhours
sh

The Workhours Calendar allows entry of work and nonwork periods for each
day of the week.  Time Line uses the Workhours and Dates Calendars to
determine when to schedule work.

  For work to be scheduled on a specific date, the day of the week must
!have work periods (Workhours Calendar), and the date must be a work
!date (Dates Calendar).
  Work periods of half-hour and quarter-hour are available, if Precision
!(Calendar Settings Form) is set to half or quarter hour, respectively.

uSCHEDULE:  Dependencies
sh

One of the most important concepts in critical path scheduling is the
dependency.  It allows you to specify the precedence of activities to be
accomplished.  Using an accurate description of this precedence network,
Time Line is able to juggle the placement of tasks to arrive at the most
efficient schedule.  With the features in this section of the program,
you can:

  Create and delete dependencies.
  Fine-tune relationships by creating partial dependencies.
  Review established dependencies on the Gantt view, in a condensed list,
!or in the PERT view.

uSCHEDULE:  Filter
sh

If there were no way of focusing on related groups of tasks, you might
feel overwhelmed by the size of your project.  Filters provide that focus.
By defining a filter to group tasks with a common attribute, you can
highlight those tasks in bold or a different color, or temporarily hide
all other tasks from the screen (and reports).

  A list appears, allowing you to select filters by name.
  Use a select filter to display a subset of tasks, hiding the others
!from view temporarily.
  Use a highlight filter to spotlight certain tasks in color or bold.
  Tasks are filtered on the basis of criteria entered on the Filter Form.
  Filtering carries through to all reports except PERT and Work Tree.

!Journal List.  These titles can be indented and outdented like an
!outline.
$SCHELay
uSCHEDULE:  LayoutsR[F6]
sh

The Layout facility allows flexibility in the on-screen display.  Columns
can be added and rearranged, the task bar scale can be changed, and other
information, such as each task's baseline, can be shown.

  A list appears, allowing you to select layouts by name.
  Use layouts to arrange the on-screen columns (pick from over 100).
  Layouts also affects the task bars - scale, progress symbols, slack and
!delay symbols, and whether baseline is shown.
  If more columns are selected than can be shown on-screen, you can
!scroll to off-screen columns.  All columns are printed in reports.
$SCHEMas
uSCHEDULE:  Master Calendar
sh

The Master Calendar options affect the underlying timeframe (shop schedule)
within which Time Line schedules work.

  On a monthly calendar, specify the workdays and holidays.  (Unavailable
!time for each resource is specified on the Resource/Cost Form.)
  On a weekly calendar, specify the normal workdays and offdays.  (If the
!Precision field (Calendar Settings Form) allows, workdays can start and
!end on the half and quarter hour.)

People accomplish projects.  The resources area of Time Line allows
definition and assignment of people and other scheduled resources such as
equipment.  Allocations may then be monitored and scheduling conflicts
resolved - the goal being the smooth flow of work to people.  Cost items,
such as materials, contractor and vendor payments, are similarly estimated
and tracked.

  Resources are added, changed, and deleted on the Resource/Cost List.
  They are assigned to tasks on the Task Form or with a Resource column.
  Charts of allocation (histograms) may be shown for up to five people
!at a time, and can be synchronized with the current task assignments.

uSCHEDULE:  Tasks
sh

Schedules are composed of tasks.  The relationships among tasks and the
estimates of their timing provide the basis for accurate scheduling.
Some task components, such as duration and start date, directly affect
the schedule.  Others, such as notes and WBS, are informational only and
are used to organize and report on the schedule.

  Tasks are added, edited, and deleted on the Gantt, PERT, and Work Tree
!views.
  Task information may be changed at any time during the planning process.
  Careful tracking of task progress allows for updated forecasts and a
!post-project comparison of planned vs. actual results.

uSORT:  Last Manual Order
sh

  When you enter or move tasks in the Gantt view, you are establishing a
!manual sequence of tasks.  Select this option to return to that
!manually arranged sequence after any number of sorts.

$TLHR7
uVertical Step SizeAHistogram Report Form
sh
This field controls the vertical scale of the Histogram Report.  For
example, if Total Dollars were selected as the data to display, a step
size of "1" would cause each printer line to represent one dollar of cost
assigned to the resource; the histograms would be too tall.  In this case,
a step size of "100" might be more appropriate.

You may need to experiment with this field and the Time Period field on
the previous form to create an attractive report.  We suggest printing
the report to screen until you're close to the proper scaling.

sh
If you choose "Yes" here, Time Line takes the total dollars spent on a
resource over a specific time period and converts it to the average spent
per hour (a more accurate measure of spending when comparing unequal time
periods).
/

February's fewer days would normally show a lower cost per month, but its
hourly rate would equal other, longer months.  In a Histogram Report, this
could falsely indicate a reduced work capacity or allocation.  The use of
an hourly rate for monthly comparison, however, would show the same level
of histogram for these hourly employees during months such as February.

uCOMBINE:  Tasks/Resources/Costs
sh

This option combines all components of a schedule on disk into the current
schedule in memory.  It combines not only the tasks, but the Resource/Cost
List, Layout and Filter Lists, and Journal notes.  The calendar set up
for the current schedule is used; the calendar from the schedule on disk
is NOT combined.

  Use this option when combining two schedules for consolidation.
  If names on the two schedules' lists (Resource/Cost, Layout, Filter)
!are duplicated, Time Line gives you the choice of using the current
!schedules' lists, or those from the combined schedule.
  Master Calendar differences are reconciled by maintaining the tasks'
!start and end dates (changing duration, if need be) or maintaining
!duration (changing end dates, if need be).
  Combined schedule may be summarized with an added summary task, or not.
  Combined schedule is inserted just below the cursor task, at the same
!level.  Be sure to position your cursor before executing File/Combine.
$COMBRsrc
uCOMBINE:  Resources/Costs
sh

This option combines the Resource/Cost List from a schedule on disk with
the current schedules' Resource/Cost List.

  If names are duplicated in the two lists, Time Line asks which list
!should overwrite the other.
  Use this option to copy the resources and costs already defined in one
!schedule to a new schedule.  It saves retyping the list.
  If you have several schedules that share the same resources and costs,
!you may want to designate one of them as the "master resource/cost
!list", updating that schedule only and copying the updated list to the
!others with this File/Combine/Resources command.
$COMBCldr
uCOMBINE:  Master Calendar
sh

This option combines a master calendar from another file ONLY if the
current schedule is empty (has no tasks or resources yet).  It may NOT be
used to merge calendar information from one schedule to another that
already has tasks.

  Each time you save a file, Time Line copies its calendar information to
!the global configuration file.  If you then start a new schedule (by
!exiting and reentering Time Line or by executing Schedule/Erase), the
!previous schedules' calendar is used.  In this case, it is not
!necessary to combine calendars from the other file.

While you are reviewing or editing a Time Line schedule, a working copy 
is held in the computer's "memory".  The original copy of it remains on
the disk, and the disk copy is not changed until you give the File/Save
command.

Schedule/Erase will remove the working copy from memory, but its previous
versions (if any) remain on the disk. 
$3305
Because the working copy of the schedule (in the computer memory) has been
changed and not saved onto your disk, you are asked to confirm your choice
before erasing it or leaving the Time Line program.

If you proceed, your working copy will be erased, and changes to it will 
be lost.

This command does not alter any copies of schedules on the disk.

This safeguard, which prevents one person overwriting the changes made by
another, can be responded to as follows:

  Retrieve the file if you want only to view schedule information or
!print reports.  You will not be able to save any changes you might
!make, though.

uFilename Already Exists
sh

When you change a name on the File Form, Time Line checks to see that the
name is not already being used.  In this case, Time Line has found another
file in the default directory with the name you've entered on the File
Form.  If you now save (and replace) this file, the other file will be
lost.
$4803
uFilename in Use

Time Line does not overwrite a schedule if it is being used by another
person on the network, or if the directory is write-protected.  To save
this schedule, you must give it another filename.
$4911
Each resource can only be assigned to the same task once.  

If you want to assign the same resource twice, say to assign a person
for tracking overtime and regular hours separately, you will need to
create a second resource with a similar name, and use that to represent
the overtime assignment.

You may also want to use a summary task to enclose several child tasks
with separate assignments.
$5206
This task is done, but to-go effort remains on some assignments.

When you are tracking costs (Cost Tracking set to "Yes" on Options Form)
Time Line checks each assignment to see that all the estimated effort is
actually spent.  After all, a Done task with more work to go doesn't 
make sense.

If any assignment still shows work remaining, then you have three choices:

u Decrease Total effort to = Spent
$Removes any to go effort from the assignment.  Choose this if you
$have been entering the amount of effort spent on each assignment,
$and these amounts accurately reflect the spent total.
u Increase Spent to = Total
$Increases the spent effort on assignments to their full, estimated
$amounts.  This "spends" all the unspent effort.  (This is the 
$automatic behavior when Cost Tracking is off.)
u Return to Task Form
$Allows you to review and edit each assignment form to enter the
$exact amount of effort spent, and enter the total on the task form.
$5209
uNo Actuals Entered
sh

You have marked a task done.  It had effort planned (resources assigned)
but no actual effort was recorded on the Assignment Form.

Time Line only offers to adjust the planned amount to match the entered 
(actual) amounts when the Cost Tracking (No, Yes) field on the Options
Form has been set to Yes.

If you are not entering actual expenses of man hours or money, cancel this
process with [Esc].  Then, on the Options Form, set the Cost Tracking
field to No.
$5221
On this Done, Effort-Driven task, the amount of Spent effort entered
for the resource assignments exceeds the total effort planned for the
task.

For example, the assigments may show a total of 12 days spent, when the
task is estimated to take only 10 work-days of effort.

You have two choices:

u Increase Total Effort to = Spent
$Increases the estimated effort for the task to reflect that it
$really did take more than is currently entered.  (In the above
$example, this would change the task to a 12-workday task.)
u Return to Task Form
$Allows you to review and edit each assignment form to enter the
$exact amount of effort spent, and enter the total on the task form.

uAbandon Schedule in Memory?
sh

You are about to retrieve a schedule that will replace the schedule
currently in memory.  However, Time Line has detected that you have made
changes to this schedule and have not saved it.  Retrieving the schedule
will therefore abandon the changes you have made.

Time Line cannot find a place in the schedule for this task.

There are several possible causes:
  A resource may be assigned in an amount larger than it is ever
!available for a sufficient interval (as specified on the Resource/Cost
!Form, Availabilities field).  Note: This is the probable cause if you
!have recently changed Availabilities.
  A detailed schedule precision (Calendar Settings Form) may have
!shortened the calendar to less time than is needed by the schedule.
  Extra, unneeded dependencies may be pushing the task past the end of
!the calendar.
  If this task is set No Later Start, that request may not be feasible.
/7
Use the following steps to eliminate the problem:
  For each assigned resource, note the Availability levels and periods
!(Resource/Cost Form), and compare them with the assignment amount (Task
!Form) to ensure that an availability of sufficient length exists.
  Change Precision field (Calendar Settings Form) to larger time period.
  Review dependencies [F4].  Also review parents (direct and indirect).
$13731
*1*

It is not possible to locate a date on which to schedule this task.

The most likely cause is a lack of resource availability.  A resource
has probably been assigned to the task in an amount larger than that
resource is ever available (for a sufficient interval).  For example,
if Joe were assigned to a task at 100%, but is not available at more than
80% at any date that meets other schedule requirements, the task could
not be scheduled.

Check the assignments, and the Availabilities field (Resource/Cost Form).

You may be able to cause Time Line to schedule the task by raising its
priority.

  The tasks you have entered cannot be scheduled within the range of the

  Resource vacations, or insufficient availability of some resources, may
!make it impossible to schedule certain tasks.  Check the Availabilities

The effort entered on the task form for the task cannot be divided evenly
among the entered resources.  For example, a seven-work-hour task 
cannot be divided among five resources into an integral number of hours.

In these cases, Time Line rounds the effort up or down.

With greater schedule precision (Master Calendar Settings Form) Time Line
will need to do less rounding, and, in some cases, may be able to 
allocate the effort exactly.  For example, hourly precision would prevent
dividing three hours among two resources, but half-hour precision would
permit it.

CIf the amount of the discrepancy is not significant to your schedule you
Cmay ignore it.  And, you can prevent the warning message by changing the
effort entered on the task form to the amount shown as actually allocated.
$13741
*1*

Because entering a task as both done, and ending in the future
involves a contradiction, the effort and expenses allocated on the task
may not match your expectations.

We recommend either changing the task's status, changing the As-of date,
or entering an actual end date.
$13742
*1*

Because entering a task as both Started, and starting in the future

Because entering a task as both Future, but with some spent effort,
involves a contradiction, the scheduling of the task, and/or effort and 
expenses allocated on the task, may not match your expectations.

We recommend either changing the task's status (to Started or Done), or
eliminating the spent effort.  If you are not Cost Tracking, eliminating 
the spent effort is accomplished by setting the Achievement percentage
("Percent Complete") to zero.  If you are Cost Tracking, you must edit
each of this task's assignments, setting the Spent effort to zero.  If
you are not sure which Tracking mode is active, check the Cost Tracking
setting on the schedule Options Form [Sh/F6].

task.
$13746
*1*

When a task is a milestone (that is, the start and the end date are the
same, and the duration is zero) there is no time in which to allocate
spent amounts of resources or variable costs.

This situation can also arise on an effort-driven task that has all of 
its effort spent but is marked as "Future."

On a linked task, if the task occurs before the dates of work time on the
master calendar, you may receive this message.

Please review this task and determine if the costs were, in fact, spent.

Correct the problem by either removing the spent costs, changing the task
duration or effort to an amount greater than zero, or altering the task
status.

uRecord Exact Resource Assignments?
sh
Recording the task dates and costs is sufficient for almost all possible
baseline analysis and reporting.

However, Time Line offers the additional option to record for each task
not only when the task was scheduled, and its planned costs, but also the
detailed allocation of each resource assigned to each task.

Advantages: If you choose "Yes," these assignments will be recorded as 
*the number of resources assigned in each period of 
*assignment.  In other words, if a resource leaves a task 
*to go on vacation, or splits around a higher-priority task,
*the duration of that absence is noted.

*"Yes" enables Assignment and Cross-Tab reports of Baselines.

Drawbacks:  This extra data takes additional memory and will make your
*schedule files larger.  It is unnecessary unless you plan to
*print Baseline reports of Assignments, Cross-Tabs or Histograms.

uPrinting PERT and Work Tree Reports
sh

You may not print a Work Tree Report from within the PERT view, or a PERT
Report from within the Work Tree view.  Either report may be printed from
the Gantt or Histogram views, however.
$20228
Some tasks are scheduled to start sooner than one or more of their 
preceding tasks' end dates, and we cannot draw both the accurate start
date of the task box and the dependency lines.

This can be caused by valid, partial dependencies, or by a schedule that
has not been recalculated.  If the latter, recalculation (F9) will allow
the program to display a more accurate network diagram.

In either case, the program will place the task box as closely as it can
to the start date, but omit the dependency line.
$20250
><.PROBLEM
The number of tasks that can be displayed in the PERT and Work Tree views
is slightly less than can be displayed in the Gantt view.  If you have an
extremely large family, you need to close up the lower levels in order
to fit the family within the PERT display area.

If you continue to receive the message, you need to close more of the
family or you may have other families that need to be closed.
$20305
uPERT:  Problem with partial dependencies
sh

Your schedule contains at least one partial dependency from the start
or to the end of a summary task.

The Outline PERT will ignore any such dependencies, and the resulting
diagram may be drawn incorrectly.

  For a more accurate view of these partial dependencies, change the
!PERT style to Traditional mode.  This shows a summary task as two
!small partial boxes at either end of its family.  To do this, select
!Schedule/Options or press [Sh/F6], and change the Style field from
!"Outline" to "Traditional".
$20400
><.PROBLEM
There is not enough memory available to display the Work Tree view.

Since closing summary tasks lowers the memory required to display the 
Work Tree view, pressing "-" (minus) on some of the less important summary
tasks may allow the view to be displayed.

uCross Tab Report:  Date Range Conflict
sh

Because the Cross Tab Report prints data in columns with date range
headings, it appears that each column's information reflects ALL tasks'
data pertaining to that time period.  However, entering a Date Range on
the Cross Tab Report Form can produce misleading data in certain columns.

For example, you would assume that a column labelled "1992" would contain
all 1992 data.  However, if a date range of 10/1/92 to 9/30/93 is entered,
the "1992" column would only reflect data from 10/1/92 to 12/31/92.

To correct this misleading presentation:
  Change the dates in the Date Range fields so that both start and end
!dates are on a Period boundary.
  Choose a smaller time unit in the Period field.  This prints more
!columns, each containing a more specific time range.

  If you have EMS memory installed in your computer, you may be able
!to continue running this session of Time Line.
  This problem is caused by not having a DEFAULT disk drive, or the
!drive specified in the "SWAPVOL=" command line parameter does not
!exist.  For example, It may specify a RamDisk that is not currently
!configured on this computer, or the drive may be a removable disk drive
!without the disk (such as a floppy or cartridge drive).
  Time Line cannot continue running unless it has sufficient virtual
!swapping space.

/
What to do:

  Time Line will soon exit.
  Examine the TL.BAT file you are using to run Time Line, looking for the
!SWAPVOL=<existing drive> option.
  If the specified drive is "DK:", that means "the current disk".
  Either change the drive to one that exists, or, if it is DK:, change
!your current DOS disk to one that exists by typing the disk name (like
!"C:") at the DOS prompt.
  Restart Time Line.
>.CALLTEK
$22900
uExit to DOS
sh

You are about to exit to DOS.  There are several ways you might want to
do this.

  uProceed    exits to the DOS prompt, allowing as much memory as
/possible with which to run programs.  This option takes
/longer than "Quick Exit".
  uCancel     quits the Exit to DOS routine and returns you to
/Time Line.
  uRun a Program brings up the DOS Exit Form.  Type the name of a
/program to run immediately when exiting to DOS.
  uQuick Exit  exits to the DOS prompt quickly.  This option takes
/less time than "Proceed", but leaves less memory with
/which to run programs.
$22910
*1*

When running a program, or choosing "Proceed", Time Line frees up as 
much memory as possible for other programs to run by copying itself and
its data to a file on disk.  This file is copied back to memory, and 
Time Line resumes, after your other programs have finished.

This is also used when printing or viewing graphics in order to run as
fast as possible.

However, your disk does not have enough room on it.  (About 700K is
needed.)
/15
Possible cures:

  Use Quick Exit.  This does not free up any memory, so large programs
!cannot run.  However, small programs can.

  Use Utilities/Stats, and choose the Run Line Options topic to see which
!drive is assigned to MEMSWAP.  (If blank, the current drive is used.)

! Using Exit To DOS/Quick Exit, remove any unimportant files from that
#drive.

! Or, exit Time Line, and run it again, changing your command line to
#contain a run line option in the form MEMSWAP IS <drive>, where 
#<drive> is the name of a disk volume with more room.  For example,
#you might enter "TL ! MEMSWAP IS G:".

program, that has left pages locked.

><.MOREEMS

Review the memory allocations in Time Line by using the Utilities/Stats

To obtain more EMS memory, 

 If more is available, but not allocated to Time Line, exit the program

 If no more is available, either install more memory, or use a memory
  manager allocation command that assigns more to EMS.

This is a cautionary note.  Normally, all changes to your schedule can
be backed-out by using the Undo command.  However, Undo does not 
counteract Import.

Importing new data can make large changes to a schedule.  Since Undo does
not reverse changes caused by import, you may want to save your current
schedule file as a precaution, in case the import changes the schedule
in a way you do not want.

This is entirely optional.

The data table that you are importing contains columns of data, some of

If you choose Proceed, you will allow these columns to override the

baseline is the original record of your schedule that you will use to
compare all subsequent schedules against.
