2.1.1. XPLAN (UNIX public domain Project Management software)
Mark Lacey and a tea from Michigan State University wrote a project
planning tool for their software engineering class.
It was available via anon ftp
<ftp://cpsacs.cps.msu.edu/pub/xsrc/>, but in Oct 95 I
received mail from Evelyn Mitchell efm@tummy.com who informed me that
this site no longer allows anon ftp. Latest information from Jean-
Francois Rit jean-francois.rit@der.edfgdf.fr is that it is available
from ftp://ftp.agix.net/pub/programming/tools/xplan/
<ftp://ftp.agix.net/pub/programming/tools/xplan/>
The tool supports entering and saving of task information (task name,
description, relevant dates, etc.). Project files can be loaded later
for consultation. The tool graphically generates both PERT and Gantt
charts on screen, and has an option to generate LaTeX source for Gantt
charts and task sheets.
Xplan has been tested on Sun SPARCstation IPC's, IPX's, 1's, 1+'s,
2's, and 10's. It requires the XView libraries and header files to
compile. A Sun binary is available for ftp at the above site.
Mark and his team do not intend to support xplan in future, but it
does seem as if there is sufficient here for someone to develop a
package that is less platform specific. Any offers ?
**** Please Note - XPLAN needs Xview 3.0 ****
**** and Guide to compile. If you are ****
**** running Non-SUN h/w, you are probably ****
**** out of luck ****
