Depends upon which version is your reference point.  WordStar 7 for DOS
(the last DOS version, by the way) will use larger than 80x25 character
screens.  I used it (WS7) for a good many years running (IIRC) in 80x50
character mode, first under DesqView on top of DOS plus QEMM386 then
later in Dosemu on Linux.

 I still have WorStar 6.0 running on this linux box in dosemu.  Years ago I
found a hack to boost it to a 50 line display.  Have no idea now how/what
that was.  The only kink is that the top 80x25 display is one color and the
bottom 80x26-50 are default.  I guess I can live with that....
 I started out with WordStar ?.?? on a Sanyo MBC-1000 CPM box somewhere
around 1981.  Great times.

   Not gonna diss WordStar - used it on CP/M and x86.
