Default Tavis Ormandy ports WordPerfect for UNIX to Linux

From https://www.theregister.com/2022/07/...nix_for_linux/

Just months after getting Lotus 1-2-3 for UNIX running on modern Linux, Tavis Ormandy – a white-hat hacker and member of Google's Project Zero team – has conjured the same trick with classic text-mode WordPerfect 7.

Immaculately complementing his port of Lotus 1-2-3 to Linux, Ormandy has now released a Linux version of the classic 1990s word processor WordPerfect – specifically, WordPerfect version 7 for Unix.

He has even wrapped it up in a .DEB package for easy installation on Ubuntu and Debian-family distros – and since it has few external dependencies, and since it's a safe bet that we won't see any updates to this 1997 program, you can probably install it on other distros using the alien command.
