In case there are WordStar users on this list, you should know that all DOS versions of WordStar work perfectly using Dosemu on Linux systems. And, Rein Klazes produced patches so that WordStar for Windows works under Wine. WordStar (all versions after WordStar 4) included filters for converting to ASCII as well as a wide variety of other formats. In fact WordStar DOS in nondocument mode is an ASCII text editor. However, if all you have are WordStar DOS files and no copy of WordStar, then using this converter would be good. But if you still have your copy of WordStar, you can just go ahead and use it on a Linux system. deedee -- Registered Linux User #327485 WordStar Users Group Community: http://wordstar2.com/WordStar_Users WordStar & Linux: http://wordstar2.com Mailing Lists: http://wordstar2.com/mailman/listinfo _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
