Download Wordstar For Windows 7
Tyler Janicke
GNU Emacs used to come with a library 'wordstar-mode.el'[45] that provides WordStar emulation, but it's been declared obsolete as of version 24.5.[46] A macro set for vi that provides WordStar emulation is available.[47]
what i loved most about wordstar was the levels of help. you could have maximum help showing keyboard short cuts taking up 1/3 of screen for newbies, about a 1/5 for those familiar and no help whatsoever for gurus leaving maximum space for text entry.
I just installed wordstar 4 on a 16gb thumb drive using Rufus to make it bootable. Ran it on a Dell E6220 i7. ran great. wrote a quick document, saved it, reopened it, closed program and the pushed the off button.
I finally decided to try my hand at using Wordstar as a word processor -- just for kicks. I installed it yesterday in a DOS emulator, and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to access the numbered menus at the bottom of the screen. I have tried ctrl, alt, shift, tab, windows + the number. No luck. I can't find an online guide anywhere that explains how to do it, either.
To Clarify:
A space is added in my DosBox window, eg in my wordstar file. (See below, it may be a Control I). Sometimes it adds a repeating space to whereever the cursor is, and shoves the remaining text on the line to the right until I press any key to stop the addition of the repeating character. Then I delete all the added spaces, and continue editing my source code.
Sorry, but I can not help you with your technical issues. I use a fairly bog-standard setup. My big issue is the DOSBox screen not updating after I have switched to different windows. That started happening with Windows 7. With XP, it was fine. Minimising then restoring the DOSBox screen gets it updating again. Other than this silly irritation, I find DOSBox quite reliable.
I worked for UK computer store from 1979-1992 and we had real problem with customers who purchased one copy of ever program and then duplicated it. CP/M came with machines but dBASE][, wordstar, caxton's Cardbox, SuperCalc, Perfect Office (Which was garbage) were regularly copied. People would pirate the software and buy the book from their local bookstore.
