WordPerfect for DOS. It was the de facto standard word processor from the mid-1980s to early 1990s. It's been available for a wide variety of systems, from DOS and Windows, to Linux, Mac OS, Unix, VMS, IBM System/370, Amiga, OS/2, and others.
WordPerfect 4.2 was the first application program to overtake WordStar, the original microcomputer word processor market leader. Purchesed buy Corel in 1996(?), WordPerfect's poor implementation of Windows conventions in its early Windows versions caused a lot of owners to drop it in favor of Microsoft Word.
