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
