There was wordperfect on VMS? Wow. 

I used to use the shared version of it on SCO in the early 90's. I
didn't know there was a VMS version. That'd be interesting to see.

  There was even a version for SunOS, with a fairly respectable WYSIWYG
GUI.   I used that quite a bit Back In The Day(tm).   I think I still have
it somewhere.

  Those binaries will likely run under current Solaris on UltraSPARC;
I've been amazed at the degree of both architectural and ABI
compatibility between BSD-based SunOS 4 and SysV-based Solaris.
