		garyrob on June 27, 2024 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: WordStar – A Writer's Word Processor (1990) I wrote a ton of Pascal on Concurrent DOS (multiuser CP/M variant) using Wordstar in the 1980s... so today, instead of nano when I need to pull up an editor for some basic terminal editing, I pull up JOE's Wordstar mode (jstar) just for a breath of nostalgia...

Turbo Pascal IDE also supported WordStar keyboard shortcuts which was one of the factors of its popularity, IMHO. You could get along with the editor instantly.
