I am looking for some information on Project Managment tools
for SunOS Unix system. I would like to know what kind of Project
Managers are available and if any are object-oriented. Thanks.

Thanks > > --Song Well, what I was looking for is something on the SUN unix that will allow me to schedule events or tasks to project designers, and also allow me to analyze data using Gant and Pert charts. What I meant by object-oriented was how the tasks would be modeled. Tasks would be modeled as objects. Each object would have properties or attributes containing values describing the task. The objects would also have methods which are procedural operations for changing the values of attributes. This however is not too important. I just want to know what's out there as far as software development project managment tools for the SUN. Any info on this would be appreciated. Thanks. Mark Starvaggi (email: ms@cerc.wvu.wvnet.edu)

Implements Monte Carlo algorithms for PERT analysis, GUI based on SunView, not especially friendly but very graphical. Requires understanding of project management. Harder to use, IMHO,` than Timeline 4.0 on a PC. Let me know if you find anything else.

My impression is that SunTrac 1.0 may be the ONLY version released, and may (*may*) end up in SunTech or SunSoft for future versions (if any) and support. To my knowledge it runs on SunView, but I have been successful in running it Open Windows as well (although it occasionally messes up the "background" screen display and sometimes causes broken window pipes). It should therefore work on standard xwm from X11, but I wouldn't *really* know. _______________________________________________________________________ Alan R. Weiss TIVOLI Systems, Inc.

Can you confirm a source (my local Sun guys don't seem to know). _______________________________________________________________________ Alan R. Weiss TIVOLI Systems, Inc.

OpenWindows is not only an X-server, it is also a SunView Server (which is why the SunView program works under OpenWindows) and a NeWS server, all rolled into one. Anything that runs under SunView should also run under OpenWindows; the same is definitely NOT true for "pure" X-servers (mwm, uwm, twm, etc). No pure X-server can run SunView binaries. -- Dana Cavasso | "A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile dcavasso%ntpal@egsner.cirr.com | the moment a single man contemplates ntpal!dcavasso@egsner.cirr.com | it, bearing within him the image of a ...!cs.utexas.edu!egsner!ntpal!dcavasso | cathedral." - Antoine de Saint-Exupery
