Farrel, neat idea and I myself was thinking about what it would take to do some of the things a certain popular scheduling package (with initials O.P.) does, doing prededence networks but also with holidays (or "calendars") and the constraints of PDM method start-start, start-finish, finish-finish, etc.  

So I'm mainly thinking of starting off with just the time calculations, before even getting into "activities" and "networks".  Just going down to the hour would be painful enough with nonworking hour calculations, but maybe I should go "all the way" and do allow scheduling down to minute or at least 15 minute interval.

Very thought provoking, thanks!
