I used to use WordPerfect. Before WordPerfect there was WordStar. I did a search and found out there is a project called WordTsar which is supposed to be WordStar for the 21st century.
WordStar hung on for years. An author friend of mine was distraught when Microsoft Word removed the ability to use WordStar keys. It was surprisingly recently, too.
WordTsar looks surprisingly comprehensive. I'm a little surprised it's a graphical application, but the developer has their reasons.
I've run MS Word 5.5 (the DOS version that MS released for free for Y2K compliance reasons) and Protext under dosemu quite successfully. The first version of Protext I had was on a 16K EPROM for the Amstrad CPC (Z80) computer. It loaded instantly, and was a great tool for undistracted writing.
cheers, Stewart
