Heh...  I still have WordStar 6.0 running under xdosemu on this machine.
Just yesterday I printed off a dozen or so QSL cards that I crafted in
PCL-5 Back In The Day.

I've had WordStar on all my machines over the years -- starting with
WordStar 2.0 on CP/M.  WordStar 6.0 was the last decent version.
After that the wheels started coming off.

Of course, LibreOffice eats its lunch now-a-days.
