I quote from the August '88 issue of Profiles, page 5: "Rumor has it that MicroPro will consider releasing a CP/M version of WordStar 5.0 if there is enough demand in the CP/M community. It wouldn't hurt to let them know what you do and do not like about version 4.0." MicroPro's address is: MicroPro International Corporation 33 San Pablo Avenue San Rafael, CA 94903 Just thought I'd get the word out... Jeff Wieland wieland@ecn.purdue.edu

No, I mean WordStar 5.0, not a new version of CP/M. WordStar 5.0 has windows, improved laser printer support, and other goodies. If you are after a new version of CP/M, try ZCPR3.

I meant to say *WordStar*, not CP/M! (Having been the engineering department for a CP/M manufacturer many years ago I ought to know the difference! and I'm fairly happy with ZCPR3/P2DOS21..) I just wanted some kind of rundown on the advantages of W* 5.0 over 4.0, and was curious about CP/M WordStar 5.0's "ancestry". What else can you tell us about 5.0? -- .signature
