Jstar is the WordStar variant of JOE (Joe's Own Editor). JOE comes in 
different "flavors." One of which is Jstar...

From the JOE man page...

   JOE is a powerful console screen editor. It has a "mode-less" user 
   interface which is similar to many user-friendly PC editors. Users of 
   Micro-Pro´s WordStar or Borland´s "Turbo" languages will feel at home. 
   JOE is a full featured UNIX screen-editor though, and has many features 
   for editing programs and text.

   JOE also emulates several other editors. JSTAR is a close imitation of 
   WordStar with many "JOE" extensions. JPICO is a close imitation of the 
   Pine mailing system´s PICO editor, but with many extensions and 
   improvements. JMACS is a GNU-EMACS imitation. RJOE is a restricted 
   version of JOE, which allows you to edit only the files specified on the 
   command line.

   Although JOE is actually five different editors, it still requires only 
   one executable, but one with five different names. The name of the editor 
   with an "rc" appended gives the name of JOE´s initialization file, which 
   determines the personality of the editor.

   JOE is free software; you can distribute it and/or modify it under the 
   terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software 
   Foundation. JOE is available over the Internet from...
                             http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/joe-editor
                             
I think it's also in most repositories.
