Moving up is hard to do: firms bid DOS farewell; DOS handled a law firm's core function - word processing - brilliantly. Some firms stayed with it for over a decade. Until now

Article Abstract:

DOS has remained in many law firms, as it is adequate for creating documents which rarely contain graphics, the attorney's main function.

Accommodating the year 2000 will also probably be more difficult on a DOS platform. Windows has become much more stable, and the time is nearing for law firms to upgrade.
