Some research turned up that MS apparently discontinued this many years ago. I did locate and install it on my machine here which has Office 2016, but Word doesn't seem to know it exists. Best I could do is select 'US-ASCII' encoding when loading a native-format WordStar document, which automatically strips the high bit from the trailing characters and renders the file readable, but it doesn't seem to interpret paragraph flow or any other formatting... jim
