  WordPerfect UK Ltd

  (Information Technology and Services industry)

  1991 — 1994 (3 years)

  WordPerfect is a proprietary word processing application now owned by Corel. At the height of its popularity in the late 1980s and early 1990s, it was the market leader and de facto standard word processor. Although the MS-DOS and Microsoft Windows versions are best known (WP5.1), its popularity was based in part on the fact that it was available for a wide variety of computers and operating systems.
