Using the Macintosh or Windows

NOTE-- In 2000 we introduced Goldenseal construction estimating software, and retired MacNail and BidMagic (our previous estimating programs). There are still die-hard users out there, so we keep the manuals online for them! Goldenseal is an integrated program that also includes accounting, job costing and project management features. It runs on any Macintosh or Windows computer.

Using the Macintosh

This manual assumes that you already have some experience with the Macintosh computer.
You should know--

If you are completely new to the Mac, we suggest that you practice first with instructional aids like the Macintosh Guided Tour that comes with your computer. It will help you to get the most out of the MacNail construction estimating software.
