Hi Jim,
Congratulations!
Not a big fine of posting at the bottom.
Still, I imagine you have perhaps come across the articles where George
r. r. Martin shares that he writes his novels in DOS using Wordstar?
would rock if you got an interview, but at the very least any Wordstar
chapter should include him?

From Canadian SF novelist Robert J Sawyer. (I've met him and read
quite a few of his books. I like them.)
He writes solely in WordStar so he's put together a freebie distro of
the final version.

This is really interesting! I'd seen Sawyer's archived info about
WordStar, but obviously this is new. (I'm writing an academic book
about 'milestones in tech writing history' and I'm considering adding
a chapter on WordStar. Sawyer's info will be good research. I may also
email him for an interview about it.)

I think, you would be crazy not to ask for an interview from a
programmer (or "WABits") from this era!
I've emailed Robert for an interview, and he's agreed! So that will be exciting.
If you know of anyone else I might interview about WordStar, please
share an email address or other contact info with me. (And if you're
volunteering for an interview, email me off-list so I can send you a
list of interview questions.)
Jim
