But that a was a while ago, back when I couldn't afford anything decent. Still, if nothing else it proves that WordStar was a capable processor. The way they programmed overlays to fit the entire program into 64K was nothing short of brilliant.

Off topic question. I have a ton of old wordstar files from when I used it for writing. I've not been able to find any conversion tool (for little or no money) to convert to text or MS Word. Are you aware of anything? Or know of a method of getting it to text or a standard format. (I do still have a version of wordstar that runs under windows)
Thanks.
