Bryan Whitehead<a href="https://mastodon.social/@nixCraft" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@nixCraft</a> My high school didn’t have enough fancy 286 computers so some of us used original 8086 with just 384kb of ram? IDE (had to use <a href="https://macaw.social/tags/WordStar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WordStar</a> key bindings) was Turbo <a href="https://macaw.social/tags/Pascal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Pascal</a> 3.0 and I’d exit back to DOS to compile.I volunteered to use the worst computer so the following semester I’d get first dibs on new (for the school) computers: 386 w/4MB ram. 😎 <a href="https://macaw.social/tags/Borland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Borland</a>

Nils M HolmT3X/0 now has a WordStar-compatible editor for CP/M that can compile T3X programs and locate errors.It runs fine on my Agon Light 2 and makes T3X programming on CP/M much more fun, because you do not have to leave the editor for compiling. The Agon is fast so that you barely notice how the compiler overlay is loaded.Homepage: <a href="http://t3x.org/t3x/0/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://t3x.org/t3x/0/</a> Download: <a href="http://t3x.org/t3x/0/t3x0cpm.zip" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">http://t3x.org/t3x/0/t3x0cpm.zip</a><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CPM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CPM</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/compilers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#compilers</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WordStar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WordStar</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/retrocomputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retrocomputing</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/T3X" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#T3X</a>

Flipboard Culture DeskWordStar, an MS-DOS-based word-processing program released in 1978, was loved by writers as diverse as Ralph Ellison, Anne Rice, and George R.R. Martin, because of its ability to capture the long-hand writing experience. Now, we can all give it a try thanks to Robert J. Sawyer, a Hugo- and Nebula-winning author who has released a complete archive of the program, along with MS-DOS emulators and all its manuals.
