I was in a discussion on rec.bicycles.tech on the properties of the combination spanner (combination wrench) but as it happened the discussion drifted away across the Pacific to Easter Island, Russian history, and Word Star, perhaps the most successful of the early word processes. It was a monolithic program in assembly language and ran on the Z-80 processor, on the CP/M operating system. It was written by a guy named " John Robbins Barnaby", in four months. 137,000 lines of assembler code.
Not sure if I posted this before, but you can still run Wordstar under V-DOS.

Not sure how you'd print unless you had a legacy parallel port card in your system that you could set to the legacy PPT address, as well as a supported printer.
