KIDASA Software Announces Milestones, Etc. 4.5

Austin, Texas --- KIDASA Software, Inc. announces the release of version
4.5 of Milestones, Etc. Both 16-bit (for Windows 3.1x) and 32-bit versions
(for Windows 95 & Windows NT) are available.

Milestones, Etc. 4.5 is certified by Microsoft's independent testing
laboratory (Veritest, Inc.) as being fully compatible with Microsoft's new
Windows 95.

Milestones, Etc. offers an alternative to traditional project management
software for managers, engineers and other professionals who need a fast,
straightforward tool for tracking and managing projects and producing
schedules. It offers an easy way to put together Gantt charts,
manufacturing cycle charts, milestone charts, and other types of
schedules. Schedules are put together with a simple, yet intelligent
"click and drag" technique.

Milestones, Etc. appeals to a broad audience including: managers,
government employees, construction engineers, facilities planners,
marketing managers, manufacturing engineers, lawyers, and product
development engineers.

In addition to being easy and requiring very little time to use,
Milestones, Etc. offers many features not found even in higher end project
management software. For example, it lets customers schedule down to
minute detail, making possible schedules such as manufacturing machine
schedules. Also, it is the only project management product in its class
operating as a server for Microsoft's powerful new OLE 2.0 standard. OLE
lets customers embed schedules in other Windows documents. Virtually all
popular word processors, spreadsheets, and graphics programs support this
use of OLE.

Version 4.5 adds even more scheduling power to Milestones, Etc. Among the
key new features in the version 4.5 are:

= Outlining. Now customers can easily set up sub-tasks below their main
tasks and show these in an outlined form. Sub-tasks can be collapsed and
expanded with a click of the mouse.

= "SmartColumns." In version 4.5, any text column can be set up as a
"SmartColumn." Columns can be set to fields such as: start date, end date,
duration, percent complete, task number, and WBS #.

= Improved Microsoft Project Interface. Many Milestones, Etc. owners also
own Microsoft Project. At their request, many improvements have been made
to the interface from Milestones, Etc. to MS Project, including: dynamic
on-screen mapping of project fields, all project symbol types, and task
links.

= Custom Date Headings. Many companies operate with non-standard date
headings and need to be able to define their own custom headings. This is
a new feature which lets the user specify a time interval and an
associated label to appear in the time scale. This allows for headings not
normally supported by project management software, but in demand by
corporations. A typical example is a yearly schedule showing thirteen
4-week periods.

= Upgraded User Interface. Many usability enhancements have been made,
including: tab dialogs, balloon help which activates when the user moves
the mouse over "hot" spots, and customization for the toolbar. The toolbox
now allows more rows of symbols than previous versions.

= Improved Data Manipulation. A new task filtering function lets users
display only tasks which meet certain criteria. For example, all tasks for
"Bob" could be displayed, or all tasks which reference "Engineering."
Also, a new find feature is great for locating information in a large
schedule.

The retail price of a single user license for Milestones, Etc. version 4.5
is $199.00. Milestones, Etc. can also be licensed by workgroups. The
smallest workgroup size is 5 and retails for $700.

KIDASA has also introduced Milestones Simplicity, a $99.00 project
scheduler. Call for more details.
