Firstly, I have very little experience with DOS. I'm 30 and it wasn't something I had the benefit of learning when I was younger, so forgive any ignorance or lack of knowledge.
Background, I work in the food service industry and am looking at changing up our point of sale process. Currently, we are using IBM DOS 5. I'm only just starting to explore this idea and haven't discussed this with my IT department as I've been told this is unlikely to happen to due legacy reasons.
So with that said, and I'm aware this isn't going to be a simple yes/no, can IBM DOS be upgraded to something more capable? We're are operating under graphical and I imagine other restrictions. To me, with my limited knowledge, it would seem like a wiser idea to try to migrate to something more current and I'm wondering if this is an insane idea or something that would seem possible? Depending on the answers I would begin my research and try to lay out a plan to present to my department.
I just don't know where to start.
Thanks guys!
