Subject: task scheduling programs (Critical Path Method?)

Hello NetLand -

     I'm looking for pointers to or reviews of task scheduling programs
that will run under CP/M-80.  If you've used any of the Critical Path
Method (or maybe not CPM, I'm not picky) programs, I'd appreciate your
responses to a couple of questions:

- What kind of support are you receiving from the vendor or software
  house that wrote your scheduler?

- Is source code available to allow 'tweaking'?  If not, do you consider
  it flexible enough to not need it?  What language is it written in?

- Any and all quirks/bugs you had problems with during installation?

- Ease of use? (from 1 to 10, 1 = easy, 10 = need guru)

- A public-domain program would be acceptable if the documentation
  was well-written.  Have you seen one?


     Please reply directly to me.  Summary requests will be honored.

     Thanks in advance -

Mark Becker
