The MacNail project management software gives you a quick "time
line" schedule of tasks from a MacNail Estimate.
NOTE-- MacNail Scheduling is still available for those who really love working with
Excel spreadsheets, although most people will be happier with our newer Goldenseal program.
These links are to the text of the MacNail construction scheduling software manual.
We provide the online manual as a service to die-hard MacNail users.
