InstantProject Import/Export TSV File Specification

The columns should be separated by TAB and the rows by CR or LF or CRLF.
WITHIN the fields of the columns ONLY, the characters TAB, LF, CR, and
BACKSLASH must be substituted by "\t", "\n", "\r" "\\" (without quotes)
respectively.

The first line may (but need not) be the column titles separated by TAB.

SN	x pos	y pos	width	height	Task Type	Title	Start Date	Duration/h	End Date	Passive Resources	Active Resources	Connections [to SN Retention/h]


The column order should be:

- SN serial number of the tasks (starting at zero)

- x pos  // of the task box (default 0 px)
- y pos  // of the task box (default 0 px) (top down direction)
- width  // of the task box (default 64 px)
- height // of the task box (default 48 px)

  the coordinates are in points relative to the
  origin at the top left of the window.

- Task Type // may be: Activity (default)
                       Milsestone
                       Objective
                       Stop

- Title // descriptive text

- Start Date // and time in ISO notation YYYY-mm-dd HH:MM:SS +zzzz

  the date time of now would be 2010-03-23 12:03:45 +0000
  note the space separating the date and time in the middle


- Duration // in decimal hours (3.5 hours means 3 h and 30 min)

  note: InstantProject can be set into two distinct modes
  for time calculations absolut continuous hours and
  working hours. That means that you need to set InstantProject
  to the correct mode before importing the data

- End Date // and time in ISO notation

- Passive Resources // may contain any text, however preferred
                       is a semicolon separated list

- Active Resources  // may contain any text, however preferred
                       is a semicolon separated list

  the lists will be attached to the bottom-left
  and bottom right edges of the task box. Keep
  in mind, that space is limited like it is for
  the descriptive text.

- Connections [to SN Retention/h] // semicolon separated list
                                     of connections

  with each connection having two space separated values,
  namely the serial number of the target and the retention
  of the connection in decimal hours. For example:

     1 22.5; 3 32; 8 -1.5

  This would mean that the given task is connected
  to task #1 with a retention of 22.5 h, and to task #3 with
  a retention of 32 h, and to task #8 with a retention of -1.5 h.
