> Besides, Wordstar and Wordperfect files used to be ubiquitous. Good luck with those today.

Here's a Hacker News story from 10 days ago about an update to Wordperfect: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24959090

I haven't tried it myself.

I saw that story, which is why I remembered Wordperfect. Good luck having a DOS emulator that works with WP 40 years from now :-)

Now what happens if it was a slightly less popular word processor, like PC-Write? (PC-Write rose to fame by being the first shareware program.)
