Editorial interest 82/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Windows utility that converts WordStar .WS files into DOCX, PDF, RTF, ODT, HTML, Markdown, and TXT without uploading them.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-06 issue.

Field notes

The proposed workflow handles both individual WordStar documents and nested folder trees, with multiple outputs selectable in one conversion pass. The page identifies .WS, .WSD, and .WS3–.WS8 as supported inputs and claims to preserve wrap flags, print controls, and WordStar 5.0+ sequences. A separate Plus tier is described as a local conversion library for searching converted DOCX, PDF, Markdown, HTML, RTF, and TXT files, with tags, previews, and knowledge maps.
