Texim Project provides a new way of organizing and developing project plans. It offers state-of-the-art project management capabilities that combine task, resource, and cost information in an interactive graphical environment. It offers many options for data entry, review and reporting. It provides multi-project management through graphical WBS and OBS charts. The Time-scaled network diagram and full risk management features help to separate Texim Project from other PC products. Texim Project has a seamless data exchange with Welcom Software's other project planning system, Open Plan. Texim is a stand-alone product for Windows 3.1NOTE - Texim is being phased out, and is being replaced with Open Plan Desktop which is a subset of Open Plan Professional, their high-end application.

SuperProject / CA-SuperProject 3.0
- Company

- Platforms
- Windows and OS/2.
- Price
- Approx $900
- Miscellaneous

This is a major change from prior versions. Included with the project is CA-Realizer as the macro language (Computer Associates version of Visual Basic). The SuperProject engine is now a dynamic link library (a DLL), fully accessible by CA-Realizer, and is fully accessible by C-language programs. The C-language API is provided with the package. Version 3.0 came out in late 1993. The price I have heard quoted somewhere was about US$900. I got my copy thru an upgrade at considerably less than that."
(I guess you can get this through any PC software dealer ? Pete.)
On Tue, 19 Dec 1995 21:11:01, tkuch@gnn.com (Terence Kuch) sent me the following thoughts on this package:
CASuperproject: Industrial-strength PM system, good import/export to Timesheet package (from Time Slips Inc.), lots of canned reports, can sometimes cut a very good deal with CA (US$149 in quantity is possible). However: the package is highly complex, confusing, not suited for the occasional user, doesn't have a modern or very thoughtful user interface. Unless you need a PM system suitable for building a battleship from the hull up, stick with Timeline, MS Project Manager, or comparable products.
