Hi Stewart. First as someone who still uses wordperfect every day I am happy to share that Wordperfect still exists, even for DOS and Windows. www.wpuniverse.com In fact there are instructions for running wordperfect for DOS under macos, Although this project might make running Wordperfect in the Mac terminal even easier. Funny Kare fact, I have, in its original box, a copy of Wordperfect for Unix, something I got on freecycle years ago hoping for a copy of Canadian Wordperfect..something I would still love to find. As for this project? It is going to make rather a few individuals who use the command line of Linux extremely happy, especially if it ends up talking. Thanks, Karen On Sun, 25 Sep 2022, Stewart C.

I'm not quite sure what to make of this, but Liam Proven gives a fair rundown: Tavis Ormandy ports WordPerfect for UNIX to Linux — https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/20/wordperfect_for_unix_for_linux/
