Cal State University, Northridge has a product in their Business Dept.
computer labs called STORM.  It uses a spreadsheet style interface, with
some prompting for non-calculation type parameters.  It does linear programming
and a lot more (transportation problems, PERT/CPM, etc).

I don't know if this was developed in house or if it's a commercial product,
I used it last semester, and while the user interface is less than intuitive,
its' performance on a 5Mhz PC was acceptable.


Chewey, get us outta here!
