MB.My friend uses WORDSTAR. He was using 4.0 very happily. After installing
.5.5 (he says...) various "older" files that were not touched in a while
.now have spurious characters in the file. He can clean these manually, but
.they seem to be in many files.
.
.Spurious characters like:
.
.^]}^#^#Uepson^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^#^@^ ...
..op
..mt0
WordStar 5.xx and later introduced a whole new document format, that's
what you're seeing. I still use 4.0 for my simple work here, I have
5.0, 5.5, and 6.0 on the shelf here! :-) I have decided to abandon WordStar
for documents, they just didn't keep up.
