Word Star! I ran it on 8 inch floppies under CP/M. When MS-DOS took over,
I found a program called z80mu that would emulate CP/M under MS-DOS (and
Windows, at least up through Windows 98). I used it to run WS, dBase II,
and cross-assemblers for the MC6800 up through 1999 when I had to do some
Y2K fixes for some 6800 code. I still have that 80286 computer with DOS
and z80mu, though I have not powered it up in 5 or 10 years.
