Dahl, Susan G., Allender, Laurel, Kelley, Troy and Adkins, Richard (1995): Transitioning Software to the Windows Environment -- Challenges and Innovations. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 1224-1227.

“Over the past ten years, the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Human Research and Engineering Directorate (HRED) has developed tools and techniques to support Manpower and Personnel Integration (MANPRINT). Most notably, a set of tools was developed in the DOS environment that has become known as the Hardware vs. Manpower (HARDMAN) III tools. These software tools provide an analytical basis to address the ways in which the Army's manpower, personnel, and training elements are affected by a new system. During the last two years, ARL HRED has begun an effort to improve the capabilities of this tool set by moving them into the Microsoft Windows environment. This paper describes the process through which this complex DOS tool set was redesigned to provide a better functional capability as well as to take advantage of the graphical user interface provided by this environment.”
