From the way back when memories Word Perfect wasn't truly WYSIWYG but then
Wordstar most definitely was not.
I do recall writing a few converters including one that took Olivetti word
processor files and converted them to the markup text that Wordstar used.
Used that one to convert about a thousand files from a failing unit into
something that Wordstar (and MS Word using the built-in import) users
could handle.
The hackers among you should be able to figure out what the WP markup is
just from reading the text in Zap or StrongED.

maybe. Anyone got a working copy of 1st Word Plus for RISC OS.
