Subject: New patches to speed up WordStar 3.3

WSFAST15.SUB is now available on SIMTEL20.  WSFAST11.SUB was the first
released version of this package.  It was originally written by
Steve Sanders to correct the annoying problem with slow sign-on of
WordStar ver. 3.3.   It has been enhanced and modified by adding
routines to eliminate the first two screens completely, allow the
printing of one document while editing another, and, optionally,
signing on the the B: drive at startup. 

The new files are:

Filename                       Type     Bytes   Sectors   CRC

Directory MICRO:<CPM.WSTAR>
WSFAST15.DOC.1                 ASCII     4848  38 =  26H  D56DH
WSFAST15.SUB.1                 ASCII     5391  43 =  2BH  DE7BH
WSLSTPAT.HEX.1                 ASCII      100   1 =   1H  48DEH
