I understand that. In most of jobs I worked I worked independently so was able to install and use dBASE for DOS and WordStar. These were mainstays for me from my DR=DOS days into my Windows years (post 1999 (approximately when I left OS/2) and pre-2007 when I went to Linux). Just to see it if would work, I've put both of these programs in DOSBox (last time I used them regularly was about 2007). Both seem natural to me, but going back to an SVGA screen takes a bit of getting used to. Jstar will still be my main editor, but I've figured out how to convert WordStar files into clean text.
