DataStar was originally an add-on program to WordStar whose purpose was specifically to expedite creating of the data files used for merge printing. This and other add-ons such as SpellStar a spell checker,  were revolutionary features for personal computer users during the early-to-mid-1980s. Collectively, WordStar (word processing), DataStar/ReportStar (database management, a.k.a. InfoStar), and CalcStar (spreadsheet) comprised Starburst, the first-ever office suite of personal computer programs.

DataStar was based on Forms.
