WordPerfect
DOS-era word processor
WordPerfect was a word processing software that dominated the market in the 1980s and early 1990s, particularly popular among legal professionals and government offices.
Known for its powerful features and keyboard-driven interface, it lost ground to Microsoft Word after the transition to Windows-based computing.
The name still appears in discussions of document compatibility and format conversion, and the software continues in limited use.
The contract was drafted in WordPerfect and needed converting.
