Hello, the first public WSformat version 0.81 is finished and ready for download. 11 years after publishing the last Wordstar for DOS, I can offer a substitute (or a successor?) Simply try it and decide. The last month, I had a lot of hard work. I strongly hope that WSformat does not only fit my own purpose! Windows version (Win98, NT or later) http://www.vr-transport.de/Martin/archiv/wsf-win.zip If you have got Win95, please try it anyway and report problems. On my Win95 system, I have got problems with fonts, but this can be specific to my installation. OS/2 version (ecS, Warp 3 or later) http://www.vr-transport.de/Martin/archiv/wsf-os2.zip Your comments and bug reports are strongly recommended. I have NOT published this program via Internet. This mailinglist is the only platform where I have shipped this information. In some weeks, I publish 0.82 where I implement your comments and fix the bugs you have reported. ---- Program description ------ WSformat is a formatting and printing program for Wordstar (DOS) files. WSedit and WSformat together are a full-featured word processing suite, running under current operating systems, but based on the Wordstar DOS philosophy ('what you see is what you want' and not 'what you see is what you get'). Nevertheless, WSformat does have a provision for document preview. Wordstar Compatiblity: WSformat accepts all Wordstar (DOS) files, but does not support all Wordstar DOS functions, i.e., those which were added after Wordstar Version 4. Instead, some extended functions (such as generating tables of contents or handling footnotes) are implemented in a WSformat-specific way. Basic Wordstar 5-7 'symmetrical sequences' are recognized (indentions, for example). WSformat is Shareware and WSedit is Freeware. WSformat supports hyphenation, the creation of end notes and footnotes, generation of tables of contents and indexes, line drawing, embedding graphics in text and allows conditional statements. In contrast to the older versions of DOS Wordstar, document preview and printing use functions provided by the Windows (or OS/2) operating systems. This means you have access to the printers and type fonts which are installed on the operating system. The WSformat command syntax is very similar to that of Hypermake. From a WS file, Hypermake will generate an equivalent file in RTF, Winhelp, HTML, IBM Help or Microsoft HTML-Help format. WSformat requires Windows 98, Windows NT 4, OS/2 Warp 3 or later.
