George R.R. Martin Writes on a DOS-Based Word Processor
From the 1980s
From the 1980s
From: http://www.slate.com
George R.R. Martin knows what's up. He's been writing science fiction and fantasy for decades, so he's not going to waste time trying to get Microsoft Word to understand that the House of Targaryen and cities like Qohor and Asshai are all things he means to type. In an interview with Conan O'Brien on Tuesday he laid it all out. "I hate spell-check, yes," he said.
And his late-’80s software of choice is the classic word processor
WordStar 4.0.
4.0 was the second WordStar version to work on DOS, but was a rewrite of 3.0, which had been directly ported to DOS from CP/M. Martin says that to this day it fulfills his every writing need.
