DOS software died close to ten years ago. At least that is when most software companies moved onto Windows based software. Newsagent suppliers moved on too and from the late 1990s Windows based software was the industry standard. Any newsagent who hae purchased DOS software since has wasted money.
This matters to me today because scrambling continues in one software company to try and maintain relevance for its DOS software product. This newsagency software package is what has been holding newsagents back for years, it’s one of the reasons suppliers have not made the IT advances with newsagents they want. While user numbers are small, around 500, it is enough for suppliers to not want to rock the boat.
Someone should take this DOS software out the back and kill it.
DIS is dead and the sooner newsagents realise that the better for all newsagents.
In the meantime, if you have DOS software in your newsagency, replace it with one of the systems which does meet industry standards.
