&gt; There was no proper archive of WordStar for DOS 7.0 available online, so I decided to create one.<p>I wonder if someone could leak the source code. Googling the original developers listed on the Wikipedia page (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;WordStar" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;WordStar</a>) turns up some LinkedIn profiles (which I did not log in to check). I think I&#x27;ve read several stories of old source code getting recovered from a 3.5 floppy someone had in a garage somewhere. There&#x27;s even a video where the LGR guy scavenged an old PC from a defunct warehouse-like computer repair shop and was able to pull source code from some old game from Sierra Online from it (it was a development machine, and they brought it in for repair in the 80s and never claimed it).

I wonder how close JOE is to WordStar, which I never used. It comes with Slackware.<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Joe&#x27;s_Own_Editor" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Joe&#x27;s_Own_Editor</a>

I remember that my Dad wrote himself a clone of at least the wordstar functions that he used, he called it starword and ran it on his BBC micro.

Oh, please. Wordstar is nothing but an insignificant pre-GUI editor with roughly zero useful modern printer drivers.<p>For a comparable but better experience, choose any text editor — emacs, for example — and groff. You get the control-keys of your choice (wordstar should you so choose) and world class typesetting capable of anything, including books.
