Hmm. So, what about AESoft's FastTrack Scheduler 8?

fts8mac.asp?bhcp=1

They even have a MS Project conversion option. If the project file is  
a version that won't work with the built in converter, then you can  
upload it to their site and they'll send you a converted file within  
an hour or so. At least, that's been my experience.

There's also another application called Merlin. It's pretty nice as  
well.
http://www.projectwizards.net/en/merlin

A few features from their site:
Merlin is compatible with many applications so, whether you import  
information or export data from Merlin, you are perfectly supported:
* Import and export of MS Project files
* Import of NovaMind-Mindmaps
* Import of OmniOutliner files
* Addresses out of the Address book
* Import an existing project
* Presentation of a project as website
* Creating of emails in Mail

Merlin even has a downloadable trail of their app.

And both have Gant charts, btw.


Cheers!
