while using DOS,I could use any editor to exit any file.  I might trash the file when I saved it, such as a dbf  fiile. Now in xubuntu I cannot seem to edit a Wordstar file with the high bit set because any editor that I have tried (about 6) all check to see what the UTF code is and reject editing, or present me with a blank screen.

I tried a program (iconv?) to ee what the UTF code it, but a couple of then give the  "Data" instead of the utf code.

Been using xubuntu for about 20 years, but now I need to edit hundreds of Wordstar 5.5 files.

Any help?

John
