    WordPerfect for UNIX Character Terminals

  • Perhaps tangential, but there is a Pandoc marco [0] for this program to DOCX via RTF. But I agree, I can do all sorts of things but eventually I am often required to get a document in DOCX. Love Pandoc.

  • 123elf

    A native port of Lotus 1-2-3 to Linux.

  • 123 was indeed ported to UNIX, I have that working as well! https://github.com/taviso/123elf

    (Although it was more likely procalc - a popular low-end lotus clone)

    I'm also working on porting dBase IV, another popular package from the era :)

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • doctor

    A microservice for document conversion at scale (by freelawproject)

  • WordPerfect is still used a little by lawyers.

    Here's how the free law project parses it: wpd2html
