Made famous now by George R.R. Martin I suppose. I should load it on my DOS machine to check it out.. I find myself distracted by things when I write so I see it as a nuclear option.
- itazula 2y agoYes, and the DOS machine is standalone, not connected to the internet. See https://slate.com/technology/2014/05/george-r-r-martin-writes-on-dos-based-wordstar-4-0-software-from-the-1980s.html https://slate.com/technology/2014/05/george-r-r-martin-write...
