WordStar has found one of its best users, Canadian science fiction author Robert J. Sawyer, a new “Plug and Play” version. The classic text version of the program in version 7.0d was released in the last update in 1992. This has never happened before. Authors such as Anne Rice, Arthur C. Clarke, Michael Chabon, Paul Levinson and James Gunn will be able to use this editor. This is the text editor that George Martin used with the lyrics of “Das Lied von Eis en Feuer”.

Canadian science fiction author Robert J. Sawyer has put together a complete WordStar package and published it on his website. The author has an existing Internet file with complete archive files for WordStar. With these new veröffentlichts a user can run a text transmission program on his computer. A great deal of technical know-how is required, it is the knowledge you need.

Classic for Writer works with DOS Emulator zurück

The download is a fast 680 MB. The package was developed using the app, a MS DOS 7 version of WordStar, the full documentation, PDFs of WordStar manuals and own tools for converting WordStar documents into modern formats and copies of two FOSS tools. This MS-DOS version can be used under modern Windows support systems: DOSbox-X and vDosPlus. Sawyer informs:

“I have spent weeks putting everything together. The archive is no longer available than the WordStar program, but contains a large number of sources that contain a full-fledged PDF of the original manual with a size of 1,000 pages, which consists of my own copies. (…) I have installed a plug-and-play package with an Ausführen of WordStar under Windows, one with DOSBox-X, an emulator, which is not yet active and is being maintained, and another with vDosPlus, which still does not work, but is no longer being maintained. “

Robert J. Sawyer designed and described Kult-Software

Sawyer says: “I can work very efficiently with my computer, which also interacts with other computers that I can use better.” Everything that had to do with the taste was empty, we could not start with the tips anymore. It is summarized:

„The program has a great role in my career – I don’t have all my 25 Romanes and fast all my Kurzgeschichten damit geschrieben (einige stamen nor from the time of the writing machine), especially in my früheren Tagen als Freiberufler auch Hunderte von Zeitungs- and Zeitschriftarticles met WordStar verasst.”

WordStar, originating from MicroPro, war in the 80s, is a credible text distribution program. It is possible to use a ​​​​range of CP/M architecture on Unix and PC/MS-DOS ports. The program can be used directly with text distribution programs, with WordPerfect, Microsoft Word for DOS and Multimate. There is an end to the Lebensdauer that WordStar shows up on Windows. This zeitgeist is a market-oriented and popular way to develop Microsoft Word, WordPerfect and a larger program.

Author of WordStar for Abandomware

In the 80s, the business world placed the text translation larger in WordPerfect um. In the 90s, it is possible to use Microsoft Word for Windows. When the work took place in December 1992 and the Entwickler company no longer existed, the program could be used as abandoned software. As The Register notes, Sawyer can take a big risk, WordStar 7 makes it easier to read.
