There was a WordPerfect included in Red Hat Linux around about release 5 or so. To get it to work on later releases you had to install the required dependency packages from the install CD along with the WordPerfect package. I bet it would still run on CentOS if you installed it with it's dependency packages.
not if those dependencies, like an ancient version of libc, libX, etc, conflict with the much much newer versions in your RHEL/CentOS version.
Not sure how word perfect got into the thread. I used the letters WP for word processing and now Word Perfect is being discussed - i found it far from 'perfect' when i used it years ago and it never deserved replacing Wordstar... whose keybinding is still preferred today by writers (only reason to use Emacs really).
