Introduction
WordStar for windows shipped before Word for Windows 6.0 was released. Word for Windows 6.0 had a different file format to its predecessor, Word for Windows 2.0.
To allow WordStar for Windows to open Word for Windows 6.0 documents Softkey (the then owners of WordStar for Windows 2.0) released a beta version of a Word for Windows 6.0 import filter. This filter was never completed and no export option became available.

Introduction
WordStar for Windows went out of production in 1994. Since then the company that last produced the program, SoftKey International, has been involved in several mergers. All versions of WordStar are currently owned by The Learning Company (TLC).
Due to the age of the program, and the time lapse since it was last sold by Softkey international, TLC have withdrawn most of the support material from their own Web site. Most of the WordStar for windows support used to be provided by Softkey via the Compuserve WordStar forum, but this is now solely a WordStar user's group.
