NOTE-- We
retired MacNail estimating software in 2000, and replaced
it with the Goldenseal construction
estimating program. There are still quite a few MacNail users, so
we keep the manuals online for them! Goldenseal is an
integrated business software
program that also includes accounting, scheduling and contract
writing features.
Estimating in
Goldenseal is much improved over MacNail!
