Document Time-Monitor Software Needed



I have a newspaper running four Macintosh IIcx computers on a AppleShare
Macintosh SE/30 server and printing to a Birmy Imagesetter with its own
spooler. The production manager needs to track the documents off each
workstation, documenting how long was spent on each document and its
deadtime (the amount of time the document was open but no keyboard or mouse
action took place). We've looked at Macintosh-In-Use, but it only totals
up all the deadtime from that workstation, and doesn't seem to be able to
apply it to the individual document.

We don't know of a product that will do the above. One developer we mentioned
to you may design and ship a product this year somewhat along these lines,
but has not yet started on it or determined its feature set.

If anyone else knows of a document time monitor, please send in whatever
details you have to TECH.COMM.
