Even the cut-down LetterPerfect still cost money. It still works – I have it running under PC-DOS 7.1 on an old Core 2 Duo Thinkpad, and it's blindingly fast. Sadly, the DOS version has never been made freeware. And, of course, if you run Windows, then the program is still very much alive and well and you can buy it from Corel Corp. Indeed the author of that piece maintains a fan site that will tell you how to download and run WordPerfect for DOS on various modern computers, if you have a legal copy of it. WordPerfect came to totally dominate the DOS wordprocessor market, crushing pretty much all competition before it, and even today, some people consider it to be the ultimate word-processor ever created. I'm here to tell you how to get them and how to install and run them. In fact, there are two free versions: one for Classic MacOS, made freeware when WordPerfect discontinued Mac support, and a native Linux version, for which Corel offered a free, fully-working, demo version.īut there is a catch – of course: they're both very old and hard to run on a modern computer.
