Scheduling with Macintosh & Windows

NOTE-- MacNail construction software is now retired-- in 2000, we replaced it with Goldenseal construction software. Goldenseal is an integrated program that handles simple construction project scheduling, plus accounting, construction estimating, and project management features. Like MacNail, the Goldenseal construction software runs on both Macintosh and Windows computers. With the multi-user version, you can even use both platforms at the same time!

Using the Macintosh

This manual assumes that you already have some experience with the Macintosh computer.
You should know--
* How to use the mouse.
* How to type from the keyboard.
* You'll also need a few basic "desktop" skills such as copying and moving files between disks.

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.
