WordStar is coming back.

[Brad]

Calling all geezers!  If you remember MS-DOS you probably remember the WordStar word processor.  Well in a fit of retroness somebody is bringing back a clone called WordTsar, for Windows, Ubuntu and Mac.  Because they can.
Still in Alfa.

I was sort of excited about this because I've been searching for terminal based applications to run in Linux, but then I saw that they built it to run in the X environment and that it is GTK 2 or GTK 3 dependent.  Really, it makes no sense to me to make a program that is inspired by an old MS-DOS app and then make it dependent on a relatively bloated gui interface.  I hope the developer(s) build a terminal based version in the future.
