( 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.
