This made me smile:
> As many of us home computer users begin transitioning to the IBM PC with its 16-bit Intel 8088 CPU and new IBM PC DOS operating system, we need not bid farewell to our CP/M programs.

Wordstar 3.3 for MSDOS was an exact clone of the CP/M WordStar 3.0 that was released a year or two earlier. Even some of the data sections were in the same place, such that you could copy parts of the configuration data from the CP/M version across to the MSDOS version.
