There are copies of WordPerfect for Solaris currently available on ebay UK.
I asked the question about WordPerfect for VMS on comp.os.vms - turns out there is a company still selling it. However, when I mentioned I was a hobbyist the communications went silent.

There was even a version for SunOS, with a fairly respectable WYSIWYG
GUI. I used that quite a bit Back In The Day(tm). I think I still have
it somewhere.
Those binaries will likely run under current Solaris on UltraSPARC;
I've been amazed at the degree of both architectural and ABI
compatibility between BSD-based SunOS 4 and SysV-based Solaris.

Quick update,
I received my WordPerfect for Unix package today.
Two very hefty manuals, an installation guide and three CDROMs.
Although the ebay advert mentions SUNOS/Solaris the following are also included:
HP-UX, RS/6000 AIX, SCO, UnixWare and AT&T GIS 3000, SGI, Siemens Nixdorf
Unfortunately no Digital Unix/tru64, which is what I was secretly hoping for :(
Mark.

Yes, it has some stupid hostname autodiscovery thing that gets the
hostname on Windows and *nix boxes without me assigning it to the
hardware MAC address. It got royally confused by seeing the same
hostname at 2 different MAC addresses. Even when I manually assigned
statuc IPs and separate names it still couldn't sort itself out.
He he, well, I guess it's a good name to choose.
How about I make it more generic: mypivax ?? :P
How about VAXPI? ;)

You can't use PIVAX as a node name, all my cluster nodes are all set
to be PIVAX1 to PIVAXn :P

Sorry. In general. :)

Well, there is:
54.100 A54RTR (Cisco IGS)
which is testing a GRE tunnel link for rather longer than I thought it would.
