Ah, yes. George R. R. Martin, of Game of Thrones fame. I've known George for decades. I first met him when he was living on the East Coast of the US, just starting his writing career, and making his living running chess tournaments. (He complained he was unlikely to rise from Expert to Master because he was too busy running tournaments to compete in them.) I knew his wife Parris before she became involved with George. An assortment of writers learned on WordStar and are loathe to give it up. SF writer Robert J. Sawyer maintains a WordStar fan page. http://www.sfwriter.com/wordstar.htm The publishing industry has standardized on Word, and editors expect to get submissions as Word doc, but some folks still compose in WordStar and import to Word for submission draft. > cheers, > Mateusz ______ Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Accelerate Dev Cycles with Automated Cross-Browser Testing - For FREE Instantly run your Selenium tests across 300+ browser/OS combos.
