Default [OT] Wordperfect and other older progs


Talking about old files and compatibility in another thread reminded me
that I have a folder (directory!) of WP 5.1 files that I have never been
able to access successfully, without WP. I know I have the original WP
installation floppies somewhere, but where? Pity I don't have a
suitable drive now.

Anyway, a quick search found http://www.oldversion.com/ and there was
WP5.1 which I downloaded and installed, and it works! Amazing. TBH,
there is nothing there that I particularly need, but quite fun to browse
through old correspondence.

Point is, if you have old inaccessible files, that site is a good place
to find a matching program.
