How to 'un-zip' the downloaded program

I recommend that you use WinZip, but you can use any archive program that supports the Zip file format, including the oroginal DOS program pkzip, or the built-in compressed folder support in recent versions of Microsoft Windows.

Word macro security

Can installing Microsoft Word templates and add-ins that have macros be risky? Yes, it can. The WordStar Command Emulator program contains macros to enable it to work and you must allow these macros to run if the program is to provide you with WordStar commands.
