[net.wanted.sources] Project Development Tools

gam@amdahl.UUCP (gam) (01/08/85)

I am looking for pointers to or sources of Project Developement
tools that run under Unix and are written in C.

In particular, tools which deal with:
	PERT charts
	Critical Path methods
	Gantt chars

Send mail to below address.  Thank you.

"... and what about -- Naomi?"

Many (!) people have sent me letters asking me to let them know
what I found.  Rather than mailing to all of them I will post here.
I should point out that I am acting as a "front-end" for someone
else who does not have direct net access, so I have not followed up
on these leads.

I also received a reprint of an article in Personal Computing (Oct 84)
reviewing several PM software packages.  Their focus is micros, but they
did note two Unix-based systems:

APECS/8000 (ADP Network Services) $55K
     ADP Network Services
     175 Jackson Plaza
     Ann Arbor, MI  48106
     (313) 769-6800

This package looks very powerful and is clearly intended for larger
systems (requires 1MB minimum memory).


PLANTRAC (Computerline) $3000/first yr, $1000/yr thereafter
     Computerline
     755 Southern Artery
     Quincy, MA  02169
     (617) 773-0001

More moderate in size (min 128K) and capacity, but has the same
basic features of the APECS.  Also available for PC-DOS and MS-DOS.
A smaller version (min 64K) runs under CP/M and TRS-DOS.


(I could't find either of these two companies in the Usenet maps).

Ooops, left this one out:
