I've no idea why Wordstar gets badmouthed so

Not too long ago, I brought up the Word for DOS demo diskette that
was packed in with PC magazine. What hit me right away was how much
of the 80x25 mono display was taken up by "fluff" and how small the
text window actually was compared to WordStar 4.
Somewhere, I've got a copy of WS 2000 that works with the
downloadable fonts in a Hercules Graphics Plus card. Even on a lowly
XT, it was pretty snappy.
