A fellow time traveler!

WordPerfect (WP) is a word processing application, now owned by 
Alludo,[3] with a long history on multiple personal computer platforms. 
At the height of its popularity in the 1980s and early 1990s, it was the 
market leader of word processors, displacing the prior market leader 
WordStar.
