[Don Raikes]

Do you think maxima could be used for network diagrams?

Yes. Braille is also another option, which I used for ascii graphs in high school from maxima. 

Anything more complex I'm not sure how useful that approach is. 

The other issue is getting drawings into ascii in the first place...

What is R?

Well I used maxima which used gnuplot to develop graphs. So that worked pretty well because I could get an idea of the graph with the Braille display. 

I think gnuplot is more designed for drawing graphs and functions rather than rawing project management diagrams. Some please correct me if I'm wrong though. 

Cheers,
Dan
