3.0 out of 5 stars Not Curremt, March 18, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Scheduling with SureTrak (Paperback)

Just recieved the book today and discovered that it covers the 2.0 version of SureTrak which makes the software related examples out of date.

The title as listed is Construction Scheduling with SureTrak and the book itself is titled Scheduling with SureTrak. Also, amazon.com lists the book as hardcover and the delivered book is not.

Looks like it is a fine book. I like the exercises provided.

It just needs to be updated to the current version of the software.
