I wrote my first novel 30-odd years ago using WordStar on a NorthStar
Horizon Z80A CP/M machine. Which was fortunate, because it made it
relatively easy 30-odd years later when I was finally ready to get it
published.

Fortunately I had enough foresight back then to push a copy up to one of my
Unix machines so that I could keep it in a retrievable archive. When I was
ready to face it again I just had to strip out all the WS dot commands and
reformat the text in a more modern text editor.  Oh, and completely rewrite
it.
