My apologies, I must have been asleep when I wrote that.
I meant to say *WordStar*, not CP/M!

(Having been the engineering department for a CP/M manufacturer many years ago
I ought to know the difference! and I'm fairly happy with ZCPR3/P2DOS21..)

I just wanted some kind of rundown on the advantages of W* 5.0 over 4.0, and
was curious about CP/M WordStar 5.0's "ancestry". What else can you tell us 
about 5.0?
