I wrote six books in Wordstar.... and helped modify the MP/M version, long ago.

  We all know that sjvn would much prefer to be writing in WordStar (from circa 1981), using the CP/M operating system.

     Well, now you can, using this importable style for Google Docs.

        Fun to have open on your laptop when you're at conferences.

         You just tell people nonchalantly, "I prefer writing in WordStar. I just upgraded to the latest version of WordStar.
(pause)  Do you use WordStar, too?"

Don't forget to change to Courier font -- for the real thing experience.
