I do not remember where I found this distribution of WordStar version 4.  It
differs from the version at http://www.retroarchive.org/cpm/text/text.htm in
that it seems to be the complete package with the spelling and mail-merge
components.  All I did was patch it so that it would work with yaze-ag.

I had previously patched the Kaypro WordStar 3.3 distribution and although it
worked well enough, the patching process was messy and it may have been some-
what difficult to apply further patches.  Configuring WordStar 4 is so much
easier and does not involve writing special handlers.  In particular, WS4
handles ANSI screen controls as a standard configuration option.

As presented here, WordStar is set for an ANSI display, 25 lines of 80 char-
acters.  If you name a file on the command line, e.g.

	ws ws4yaze.txt

then that file is opened in NON-DOCUMENT mode.  This is very useful when you
are using WordStar as a general text editor.  It does mean that when using
the program as a word processor then you have to select the document from a
menu.  If you don't like this then it is easy to change - just run WSCHANGE!
