Norm, I knew WordPerfect was available as a free download, and I still use it for legacy files in Classic mode with 10.4.1. A bit of Googling came up with this:
> WordPerfect for Macintosh > > Corel stopped providing new versions of WordPerfect for Macintosh a couple of > years ago. They have provided a final free version of WordPerfect - > WordPerfect 3.5 enhanced. From this page you may download that file plus an > update for OS 8/9. Note that WordPerfect 3.5 Enhanced does not contain the > templates, and many other extras, associated with an installation of > WordPerfect from a CD-ROM or floppy disks. Corel used to provide some support > files at their Web site but no support the Macintosh platform. > > You may still run WordPerfect 3.5 on new Macintosh computers (OS X) by > utilizing Classic mode. If you have a G5-based platform, you must install > Classic Support from the "Additional Software" disk that shipped with your > computer. Support for Classic mode is no longer part of the default > configuration of MacOS X. <http://acmfiles.csusb.edu/pub/Macintosh/Applications/Corel/Corel_WP_35e.sea .bin> WordPerfect 3.5e application file size 24 MB <http://acmfiles.csusb.edu/pub/Macintosh/Applications/Corel/WP_OS8-9Updater. sea.bin> Update to OS 8 & 9, file size 420 KB It's probably available at other sites too.
