THere is a program called VDOEDIT (sp?) in Simtel that is a raw-text word processor with WORDSTAR COMMANDS!!! (which I assume is the only reason why you'd want to hold on to WS despite its peculiarity). In fact, the "binary" elements in the WOrdstar output can be removed, I think, by "clearing" the MSB (bit 7) of each byte. Word star uses all ASCII code for formating (unlike, say, WOrdPerfect), so getting rid of the end- of-word markers would just do fine. -John
