Ah, Wordstar. I still love that program. After using pirated copies for
way too long, I finally got a decent paying job and bought a copy of
Wordstar 7.0D for Dos. Probably just about the last copy they sold
too... ;'p
I still have it if you ever need to get at those docs - it does a
reasonable rtf export IIRC. I keep it installed somewhere at all
times for nostalgia's sake. Right now I have a dos only SunPCi installation
for Wordstar and Medley Lisp.
