August 4, 1999
CompuCom Systems, Inc.

Dallas, Texas 75230
Re: CompuCom Systems, Inc. - Registration Statement on Form S-8
Gentlemen:
We are counsel to CompuCom Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and have acted as such in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") to be filed
with the Securities and Exchange Commission on or about August 4, 1999, under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), relating to
3,000,000 shares (the "Shares") of the $0.01 par value common stock (the "Common
Stock") of the Company that have been or may be issued by the Company pursuant
to the CompuCom Systems, Inc. 1993 Stock Option Plan between the Company and the
signatories thereto (the "Plan").
You have requested an opinion with respect to certain legal aspects of the
proposed offering. In connection therewith, we have examined and relied upon
the original, or copies identified to our satisfaction, of (1) the Certificate
of Incorporation of the Company, as amended, and the Bylaws of the Company, as
amended; (2) minutes and records of the corporate proceedings of the Company
with respect to the establishment of the Plan, the reservation of 3,000,000
Shares to be issued pursuant to the Plan and to which the Registration Statement
relates, the issuance of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the Plan and
related matters; (3) the Registration Statement and exhibits thereto, including
the Plan; and (4) such other documents and instruments as we have deemed
necessary for the expression of opinions herein contained. In making the
foregoing examinations, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures and
the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the
conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as certified
or photostatic copies. As to various questions of fact material to this
opinion, and as to the content and form of the Certificate of Incorporation, as
amended, the Bylaws, as amended, minutes, records, resolutions and other
documents or writings of the Company, we have relied, to the extent deemed
reasonably appropriate, upon representations or certificates of officers or
directors of the Company and upon documents, records and instruments furnished
to us by the Company, without independent check or verification of their
accuracy.
Based upon our examination, consideration of, and reliance on the documents
and other matters described above, and assuming that:
<PAGE>
(1) the Shares to be sold and issued in the future will be duly issued and
sold in accordance with the terms of the Plan;
(2) the Company maintains an adequate number of authorized but unissued
shares and/or treasury shares available for issuance to those persons who
purchase Shares pursuant to the Plan; and
(3) the consideration for the Shares issued pursuant to the Plan is
actually received by the Company as provided in the Plan and exceeds the par
value of such shares;
then, we are of the opinion that, the Shares issued or sold in accordance with
the terms of the Plan will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement and to references to us included in or made a part of the
Registration Statement. In giving this consent, we do not admit that we come
within the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the
Securities Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Securities and Exchange
Commission thereunder.
Very truly yours,
Jenkens & Gilchrist,
A Professional Corporation
