Flipboard Culture Desk<p>WordStar, an MS-DOS-based word-processing program released in 1978, was loved by writers as diverse as Ralph Ellison, Anne Rice, and George R.R. Martin, because of its ability to capture the long-hand writing experience. Now, we can all give it a try thanks to Robert J. Sawyer, a Hugo- and Nebula-winning author who has released a complete archive of the program, along with MS-DOS emulators and all its manuals.
