The spreadsheet program "20-20" from Access Technology, Natick Mass.,
has routines to read in Lotus worksheets.  Wordstar is fairly simple
to deal with; It sets the high bit on a lot of chars for formatting purposes,
so stripping hi bit makes file pure ascii, and thereby usable in virtually any
other WP pkg.  Lyrix, Uniplex, Emacs all support command binding; with some
work, all can be made to look pretty similar to WordStar.
	Lyrix, Emacs, Uniplex, 20-20 all run on Altos, Plexus, Vax, etc.
