I. What's new about SunTrac 1.3? Release 1.3 adds two much requested features to SunTrac-- Resource-constrained scheduling, and printing Sketch charts to HPGL plotters. Resource-Constrained Scheduling: On previous versions of SunTrac, the program assumes unlimited resources when creating a scheule against milestone dates. SunTrac 1.3 still operates in this way, but there is a new and optional way to determine schedules -- one based on resources available. With this option selected, SunTrac will create a schedule based on available resources. This reflects a sometimes more practical approach to project management. For example, there may be a shortage of staff; or, two activities can only be done by one person. Release 1.3 extends the SunTrac scheduling procedure to generate schedules where projected finish dates account for the availability of resources. HPGL plotters: SunTrac 1.3 now supports HPGL plotters for all Sketch diagrams. Up to four different pen colors can be used. Of course, release 1.3 gives you the ability to run SunTrac on all of Sun's hardware architectures -- Sun-3, SPARC/Sun-4, and Sun386i. 3.5-inch floppies are available for Sun386i architectures only. Also included is a new tutorial, and 1.3 release notes. 1.3 is available under OS 4.x only. There is no longer a 3.x version available. Note that both domestic and international versions require hostid passwords. II.
