"Does anyone have a WORDSTAR filter program (public domain) for use on the Osborne 1. I need something to download WORDSTAR files without all the control and spacing junk that is included in the normal WORDSTAR format." Here's a quick and dirty solution, using PIP, a program which was included with your Osborne CP/M disks: PIP myfile.TXT=myfile.WS [Z] This will create a file with all the high bits set to zero (that's what the [Z] option does). Since the high bit is used by WordStar for all the junk you want to get rid of... Pablo Ghenis, Secretary OKOK (Osborne Komputer Owners' Klub) Pasadena, California
