Up until Win 2000 all MS consumer OSs were backward compatible, meaning 
that you could continue to run old software including DOS programs, though 
you might have to reboot to DOS or run it in a DOS window to do so. Maybe 
you should just break down and try a newer program, Weary or you could get 
the WordStar emulator software that allows you to use WordStar commands in 
MS Word from http://www.wordstar.org/.
