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, the
Write&Set package containing both WSedit and WSformat is
Shareware.

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. 

Changes in WSedit 0.94 since 0.92:
- Menu bar (can be switched off, see menuitem Options)
- Alternate appearance of popup menu (see menuitem 
  Options)
- "highlighted cursor": after a while with no cursor 
  movement, the cursor is marked by a lightblue cross; 
  pressing CTRL without another key forces the highlighted 
  cursor immediately
- modified behaviour when starting WSedit without a file 
  (see Settings notebook - page Save).

Changes in WSedit 0.95:
- the search and search/replace dialog accepts
  printer characters (enter ^ and B or write a hash #,
  followed by three digits for the ASCII decimal code) 

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 learn more about Write&Set,
