The age of automation has established its foothold in
today's society. Computerization now affects almost everyone's
job, and sharing of information is vital to successful
job performance. Manual transfer of information is inefficient
and prone to error, so another means is needed. One
option is computer networking. Both Local Area Networks and
long-haul networks presently exist, but they are either very
expensive or hardware dependent.
It would normally require a long lead time and high
costs for the military to acquire an information transfer
system. To provide a readily available, low-cost file
transfer system, the authors developed an assembly language
program named MICROLAN, which is written to work with three
of the main microcomputer operating systems (CP/M-80,
CP/M-86, and IIS. DOS) and to take advantage of RS232 technology.
MICROLAN was tested successfully for file transfer
at up to 4800 baud, and suggestions have been included as to
possible uses for MICROLAN in the military environment.
Additionally, possible methods for upgrading MICROLAN are
also included.
