Subject: is there a difininite compendium of Word Star 4.0 bugs

I am using Word Star 4.0 with a Diablo 1650 word processing printer which I
use with the WS Diablo print driver.

All goes well most of the time but every once in a while a document will not
print without errors: the errors are always identical and in the same place,
stopping the flow of data (to ensure that the buffer is not overflowing) does
not change the symptoms, and errors are more likely to appear in large files
but they can be as easily at the beginning as the end.

I have three possible suspects: an inappropriate printer driver, a
defective printer, and hardshelled insects.

I am presently examining the entymological angle.

What are the known WS4.0 bugs and their solutions?
