I currently use microsoft project which has a pretty decent user interface, but a truly brain dead scheduling and leveling algorithm. It will often leave multiple week holes in peoples schedules and since the resource loading display won't go down to single pixel wide bar graphs, these easily creap into the final plan. I am basicly doing my final leveling by hand. I called microsoft and got a well informed person who allowed as how there were problems in that area and a future version might fix them. My question is does anyone have any experiance with other project managers that use Win3 and what do they think of them? Cheers, Ralph

Hi Ralph,
I've been using a project management package called Hornet, which is
pretty good. It doesn't use the windows interface but I suppose you could run
it and windows at the same time if you have enough memory; they're both pretty
heavy users.
The full version can schedule & level a project with about 7,500
activities and 128 resources, depending on the complexity, i.e. number of
logical links. I'm about to upload a shareware version that is restricted to
139 activities, but maybe you'd be able to use it (?)
Watch for Hornet.zip in this space.
