Choosing imaging software
Article Abstract:
Four networked imaging systems suitable for legal document management have been tested for performance and capabilities. Westbrook Technologies' File Magic Plus 4.0 provides the highest level of versatility and capabilities. Compulink Management Center's LaserFiche 2.2 is also a good performer and has a more intuitive search and retrieval engine. Documagix's PaperMaster is a lower-end product that provides basic imaging functions but lacks advanced retrieval technologies. Executive Technologies' Search Express is not recommended because it is expensive and difficult to install. Imaging can be used for everything from litigation support to archival file storage and quick access to file information. However, each function requires that the appropriate design elements be incorporated into the imaging system from its inception. The selected system should also be expandable for future needs and functions and must be capable of handling the projected volume of documents typically processed at the firm. The imaging program should be compatible with standard graphics file formats, such as TIFF.

Good and not-so-good Internet software
Article Abstract:
Pegasus Mail for Windows 2.1 is the best E-mail program available, and IBM includes sound Internet features in OS/2 Warp. In contrast, Microsoft's Internet Explorer Web browser offers minimal features and awkward navigation. The Internet Explorer fails to offer integrated E-mail or an external newsreader. It requires additional programs to complete its feature set and, unlike other browsers, it does not allow users to modify options, forcing them to use Microsoft companion products. Pegasus Mail is freeware and offers both Internet and LAN E-mail services. Writing and sending a message is easy, and an editing screen allows users to use advanced options and attach documents with menu boxes and icons. The included coding for attaching a binary file is comprehensive, and files pass over the Internet without errors. User-defined settings remain as specified until the next boot up, and sophisticated filters can route incoming mail.

Windows 95 woes
Article Abstract:
Microsoft's forthcoming Windows 95 32-bit operating system has been hyped to the point of overkill, yet beta results indicate that the product may not be able to live up to user expectations. The hoopla surrounding Win 95's imminent arrival sounds disturbingly familiar to those who remember a similar uproar when Windows NT appeared in 1993. NT has yet to achieve the status suggested by its supporters. Early reviews reveal that Win 95's multitasking capabilities are disappointing and cause problems with overextended system resources. Leading computer magazines are strongly recommending that users wait until Win 95 bugs have been repaired in updates to the initial release because the software is not stable and may also exhibit backward compatibility problems with Windows 3.1 programs and files.
