Wordstar for dosbox portable#
Already popular, its inclusion with the Osborne 1 computer made the program become the de facto standard for much of the word processing market.Īs the computer market quickly became dominated by the IBM PC, this same portable design made it difficult for the program to add new features and affected its performance. As all of these versions had relatively similar commands and controls, users could move between platforms with equal ease. WordStar was deliberately written to make as few assumptions about the underlying system as possible, allowing it to be easily ported across the many platforms that proliferated in the early 1980s.
Wordstar for dosbox code#
Starting with WordStar 4.0, the program was built on new code written principally by Peter Mierau. Rubinstein was the principal owner of the company, Rob Barnaby was the sole author of the early versions of the program. It was published by MicroPro International, and written for the CP/M operating system but later ported to DOS. Since we don’t use an CGA monitor, type vgalemmi.exe to run the application.WordStar is a word processor application that had a dominant market share during the early- to mid-1980s. In dos, you only can run a program with extension. Mount c ~/Documents/games/gamedos/lemmings So, it become ~/ Documents/games/gamedos/lemmings. You reduce typing your location using ‘ ~‘ character. In this tutorial my location is: /home/taufanlubis/Desktop/taufanlubis/Documents/games/gamedos/lemmings. It depend where you put your applications. My file location can be different with yours. The syntax is: mount your_drive your_file_location. You will need this location for ‘drive mounting’.īefore you can run any applications in Dosbox, you have to tell the Dosbox where you put your applications and connect it to a virtual drive.

But, I tell you, you were very lucky if you have a PC on that time. Put in the big floppy disc for booting and replaced it with another floppy disc with the program. Playing Digger, Test drive or Lemmings, typing with wordstar, database with Dbase III+, spreadsheet with Lotus 123 or Impress and some utility tools like PCTools or Locksmith. I like to remember what I did before especially if I have good memories with it. It was my first opereting system and I think I used it at about 25 years ago if I’m not mistaken. Do you want to play the old DOS games or applications? I do and I believe that there are still lots of ex DOS users want to run their old applications.
