Funny you should mention the Atari ST. I heard WordPerfect did make it to the platform, but only for a short time. I wonder if it was any good?

- raudette 2y agoI used WordPerfect for the Amiga. I was in high school, so I didn't use any features beyond what you'd need for an essay or report - it seemed equivalent to the equivalent DOS version (4.x) from this perspective. One of the challenges I had was printing french accented characters on a LaserJet+ clone - an issue I never resolved, and didn't encounter in the DOS version on my parent's PC.
- TheAmazingRace 2y agoIt's truly a darn shame that the piracy situation was so rampant on both the ST and Amiga platforms. It's pretty much the main reason why WordPerfect (and a variety of other software) was pulled from the market, in favor of the PC and Mac markets.
