I've been experimenting with WordStar (versions 4, 5, 5.5, 6 and 7) using DosBox and found that, with the "Convert" program (Star Exchange), you can convert your WordStar files into RTF format and they retain that WordStar formatting when opened in LibreOffice. From there you can do anything, print or save to PDF. It looks like Mr. Sawyer has Star Exchange set to RTF by default, so I'm guessing he does that specifically for this reason. (I haven't yet gone through all the files he includes in his WordStar archive — he's done a lot of work with this.)

I still like WordStar for DOS and this makes it even more useful for me.
