We are interested in evaluating Project Management software which
runs under UNIX (4.3BSD or Sun 3.x). Does anyone have any experience
good or bad using such a system? We need to be able to compare
and relate schedules, perform resource loading and analysis and
develop custom reports. We have another system which is used to
track our 'actual' development which will soon be converted to
a UNIFY/Accell DBMS. The scheduling system would utimately need to
tie in to the tracking system.
Interested in any and all information.
Thanks...

Between the covers of almost every UNIX WORLD is an ad for Q-CALC or Q-CALC
Standard (as it is now called). Q-CALC is a Lotus-compatible spreadsheet for
System V, BSD, Sun(?), etc. The same firm also developed and markets
MasterPlan project management software for the same OS's. MasterPlan can
import/export information from/to Q-CALC for cost analysis, etc. Price of
each product is about $2500 for BSD versions.
Both products are available from the developer or from UNIPRESS.
Cheers!

Many years ago at an employer far far away, they took a major commercial project management system and ported it to UNIX. At one point it ran on an Onyx Z8000 machine (hey -- I *said* it was a long time ago!) Last I heard they were doing well on UTS and some other machines. Call or write ADP Network Services, Ann Arbor, MI. Darned if I know who is the marketing or sales person, but Min-Shih Chen is still one of the technical managers, and could point you in the right direction. I believe the product is still called APECS. Warning -- you are talking about HUGE piles of money. Steve Simmons

Q-CALC is a Lotus-compatible spreadsheet for >System V, BSD, Sun(?), etc. There is also a system called VUE. VUE is an interactive project management system designed to help managers establish and monitor realistic project management plans. VUE uses the critical path method, spotlighting those activities whise timely completion is critical to finishing the project on schedule. Up to three thousand activities can be traced per project, with nearly unlimited activities through the multi-project option. VUE ia as easy to use, menu driven system with minimal training needed for entering project information and generating reports. The project manager can use use VUE to modify information and see the project from several perspectives, generate several 'what if' scenarios before work actually begins, and as work progresses, to respond to unexpected developments with new schedules and strategies. VUE's fourteen standard reports include printer graphics and show the impact of changes in timing, cost and resources on activities and on the project as a whole. These reports can be made to cover the entire project, modified to view the activities falling under the control of one deoartment, or used to summarize groups of activities for less detailed reporting. The author of this system is National Information Systems Inc. of San Jose Ca. and prices start at around $2000 for a DEC MicroVaxII. -- ====================================================== Reply To: patk@sphinx.co.uk Sphinx Limited 43-53 Moorbridge Road, Phone: 06228 75343 Maidenhead, TLX : 849812 Berks SL6 8PB.
