We're running Word Star on an IBM XT with a Juki printer. For months, we've had no problems. Suddenly, Word Star has developed two problems: (1) it only prints double-spaced; and (2) it refuses to load files from floppies. I've tried all sorts of tricks to turn off the double-spacing but to no avail. Worse, the staff is accusing me of sabotaging the program, because I've tried (unsuccessfully) for months to get them all to switch to Microsoft Word. Any help would obviously be appreciated. --rb

One of the people in my office just bought a zenith z159 with a zenith vga card and a high resolution monochrome monitor. When he tries to run Wordstar on it he cannot see what he is editing because the program displays the text in a color which translates to black on a monochrome screen. Is there any way to correct this (either configuration or whatever). We can't find a configure function, so we are stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

Try looking for a program named "WINSTALL.COM" or WINSTALL.EXE. This is the
installation program that comes with wordstar. If you have it, it will let
you alter the screen colors.

If he is running release 4 or 5, use WSCHANGE to change the screen colors.
If he is using and older version, I *think* you can change it by digging out
the original disks and reinstalling it!
Inf he is running the older version, he really should upgrade. It isn't all
*that* expensiive, and release 4 is good and 5 is *very* good!
