I'm looking for programs that will do pert and gannt charts under X windows (preferably Motif) on a UNIX system. Public Domain or commercial is fine. What we really need is just a simple system with a pretty intuitive interface for a small group of programmers and engineers to use. Email and I'll be glad to summarize if there is any interest.

( emacs can be very confusing to a beginner!!!) Well folks, there seems to be a great deal of interest in this and not a masssive amount of information. I have included a copy of the two informative letters I received. Hope they help. If anyone does hear of any other systems, I would appreciate it if you could let me know. First letter is from Wendy Harrison <uunet!sq.com!wendy>: >Please include me in any mail summaries. I too am interested >in this. In fact, I posted to the net some weeks ago asking >about PM software, and got very little response. My summary follows: > > >Subject: UNIX PM Software: Summary of responses >----- >Well, I guess the trickle of responses has stopped. A number of >people wrote to me and asked to share any information that I got >on this subject. I originally asked for X-based PM packages, but >quickly realized I would take whatever I could get. > >So, here is what I found: > >A salesman called in response to my posting, from Quality Software Products. >They have a product called MasterPlan. The current product is curses-based, >with an X version in the works. [Looks interesting, and I will probably >evaluate it. Their number is: 213-659-1560.] > > >Mail from Herb Calhoun <iex!neptune.iex.com!calhoun@uunet.UU.NET> recommended: > >TRACKSTAR from T&B computing. >> contact Kurt Leutheuser at (313) 930-7820 for information on TrackStar. >> T & B Computing is based in Ann Arbor, Michigan. > >Mail from andy@spl28.spl.fac.com (Andrew Purshottam) said "we sell one": > >"Called SunTrac (K?) sold through sun. Don't know much about it, except >that I have to install it from time to time, and look at its output >PERT charts in schedule meetings. I know there is a sunview >version for sale, not sure if X version is avail outside FAC. >As I said, sold through sun, ask them. If they don't help, ask >and I'll get you the name of sun saleman who will know." And the second letter is from Dan May <uunet!danm.at.qsp>: >Mark, Quality Software Products of Culver City, CA has developed a >project management and scheduling package for Unix called MasterPlan. >The character based version has been shipping since 1986 and is >currently available on almost 40 different Unix platforms. The product >is capable of creating both PERT and GANTT charts, handle resource >levelling, multi-project scheduling, etc. QSP is currently in >development of an X-Window Motif version of MasterPlan due out later >this year. If you would like to receive some additional information on >MasterPlan, feel free to contact myself directly. > >Dan May >Director of Sales >tel: 213-410-0303 >fax: 213-410-0124

Hi,
I would like to find out if the following has already been programmed:
I need to schedule a number of Interns (young doctors :-)) to the
different departments of a given hospital (ours, of course :-)).
They usually do a year with us and rotate between two and six months
through different departments. The do those rotations continuous so
one can not for example schedule them one month Pediatrics in January
and one in March but must either give them Jan/Feb or Feb/March
instead.
There are seniorities to be observed (some start half a year eralier
and then should get preference if necessary and there are Head of
Departments' Choices which take absolute precedence ('Intern A must
stay with us from Jan to June!')
A screen orientated input would be nice but can be easily written
locally if not present.
Ideally one should be able to use up to 300 persons so if it worked
well one could use it for Nurses (four different categories rotating
every 2 to 6 months) as well.
It should be written in C (Xenix, System 5 and Turbo-C) or
Turbo-Pascal and/or an EXEcutable for MS-DOS.
The output should lend itself to manipulation with AWK so one can
incorporate it into LaTeX.
Of course it should be free/Public Domaine/Shareware or very cheap.
(Namibia is a developing country :-))
Too tall an order, I hope not.
