Abstract

This paper addresses the issues concerned with transporting a large-scale, computer assisted, warfare exercise program from a mainframe to a microcomputer environment. Its main focus is on replacing the current application dependent file system with a commercial DBMS and using a 4th generation language applications development tool to develop a more friendly user interface. Issues concerned with database and user interface design are discussed.
