I thought maybe Robert Sawyer would get a kick out of this. (Probably no one else cares.)

I think this will be clearer if you download it — or maybe Google likes Windows better than Linux, I don't know. It's actually recorded at a pretty decent resolution for the screencast that comes built into Chromebooks now.

I used WordStar for DOS for about 20 years, until I went to Linux. It actually works pretty well in DOSBox, but to use the files in Linux I just convert to ASCII and use that in my word processor (after cleaning it up in Jstar, but that's more of a DOS text file to Linux issue).

I own WordStar 3.3, 5.5, 6.0, 7.0d, 2000 and WordStar for Windows (which really wasn't WordStar).

I still like the simplicity of the WordStar for DOS screen.
