Back in the day, (1987 to be exact) WordStar 3.3 ran off of a single 5.25" floppy. Those were 360KB in capacity. Wordstar would also cheerfuily allow you to delete every blessed file off of that 360KB floppy, including the executable and the overlay files. I destroyed the first warez copy of WordStar I ever had that way. -.\\<-H- -- Michelle Klein-Hass Box 2273, Van Nuys, CA 91404-2273 Spam me and you pay!
