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 - (no) installation". You can directly execute 
the WSedit.exe program.

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.


WSedit 0.99a fixes a few tiny bugs of 0.99, not worth to 
mention.

New functionality/improvements in WSedit 0.99:

O  Ctrl-QP (quick to last position) was missing. Now imple
   mented.
O  Different window title text, dependent on having focus or 
   not (to get useful information in the Windows taskbar)
O  Wheel mouse support for Windows
O  full Drag and Drop in the Windows version (but with the 
   right, not the left mouse button!)
O  better screen font support: all available fixed fonts can 
   be selected and are stored in the text file 
   "edifonts.ini"
O  Support of the "Write&Set TXT format" in File - Import, 
   File - Export



The Write&Set archive file has got an installation program 
included creating file associations both for WSedit and 
WSformat. It also includes a WS text file containing the 
WSedit docu which can be printed (docusrc\WSedit-e.WS). To
