Wordstar like Editor available for OS/2, Windows and Linux 
(planned) which reads Wordstar 4-7 and ASCII (ISO and IBM 
codepage) and writes Wordstar 4 and ASCII format (ISO and 
IBM codepage).
WSedit is part of the wordprocessing suite "Write&Set" which 
consists of two programs: WSedit and WSformat. WSformat is 
not part of this archive file. WSedit as stand-alone 
application is Freeware, WSformat is Shareware.

To install, open WSedit-e.hlp and read the chapter 
"Introduction - installation". You can directly execute the 
WSedit.exe program and create a program object by yourself.

The idea of WSedit is to have a modern graphical 32-bit 
application with look-and-feel of old Wordstar for DOS. But 
you can also use WSedit without knowing Wordstars Ctrl- 
commands ("Ctrl" is abbreviated ^) and without knowing about 
the Wordstar file format: if you don't use the Wordstar file 
format, WSedit is a powerful text editor for large ASCII 
files with/without word wrapping. In this case, it will be 
nevertheless useful for you to take a look at the dot 
commands for unformatted files and at the Ctrl commands.

The behaviour of WSedit depends on the text file extension. 
In the settings notebook (Ctrl-OO), you can define different 
properties dependent on the file extension of the file.

Most Wordstar commands are supported, press Ctrl-J for a 
Ctrl key summary.

New functionality/improvements in WSedit 0.99k:

O  Line drawing with cursor keys (IBM codepage only): Simply 
   press Ctrl-Alt-Cursor keys for single lines and Shift- 
   Alt-Cursor keys for double lines. Edge characters are 
   calculated automatically.

Bugs fixed in WSedit 0.99k:

O  Malfunction with block operations within indented 
   paragraphs (snow characters)
O  program hangs when using "Undo" after text insertion 
   (paste from clipboard, Ctrl-KC, Ctrl-KV)

New functionality/improvements in WSedit 0.99h:

O  (0.99h1) Ctrl-OJ "generate character map" generates an 
   ASCII table in comment lines
O  Ctrl-OD "show printer chars": without printer chars text 
   an be edited now (restricted, because printer chars 
   remain on previous position)
O  Ctrl-B and Ctrl-OG indention gets calculated correctly 
   when using with printer chars
O  Ctrl-QA "search/replace" affects only running text and 
   not dot commands. New command Ctrl-QN affects dot 
   dommands only
O  Tab key in overwrite mode jumps to tabulator positions
O  right-orientated columns with ".tb#10,#20", while the 
   numbers behind ".tb" relates to the last character in the 
   column
O  undo/redo keycode is now Ctrl-Backspace (Alt-Backspace 
   still works, but forces a system beep in Windows)
O  "File - New Window" did not work (Windows version only)
O  Ctrl-U "paste trash buffer" created an additional single 
   space (Windows version only)
O  and a lot of minor bugfixes, not worth to mention.
