Tech R&D tracker

I have been working on a Windows application (VB6) that will be able to keep
track of technology trees (what technologies are needed to develop a given
technology, and what technologies are possible from a given technology), along
with investments and state of progress for each.

I am designing it so that essentially any set of technologies can be included.
Specifically, I am thinking of making one up through Y2K, and another to
handle tech development for 2300AD colonies. It can be adjusted to handle
three fixed resources (time, labor, capital) and 6
user-defined
resources. The data chart is a tab-delimited file (most easily accessed
in Excel) which can be edited in any text editor. For testing purposes, I have
input a portion of the technology chart from Galactic Battlegrounds (so the
only resources used are carbon, ore, nova and food).

It is still not at all complete, but enough of it is done that you can see
where I'm heading. Is anyone interested in helping me design the application
(although I think it is pretty clear where I want to go with it, because it is
designed only to keep track of the tree and current progress), and ESPECIALLY
is there anyone interested in helping develop tech trees?

In addition to the application, you will need the VB6 library (included with
most recent Windows installations) and two OCX libraries (Spread 3.0 from
Farpoint and DTlist from Greentree), all of which I can supply.
