I stopped using Word Perfect at version 8 on Win 9x. It was a fucking shit show. Used 5.1 on DOS immensely. 5.1 was great for its time.

- rladd 7y agoFun fact: WordPerfect was written in assembler for (I think) the Data General minicomputer. Every other version was cross-assembled to the given platform. This was told to me by Alan Ashton, the CEO and founder of WordPerfect, in around 1986. I instantly thought that their days were numbered.
