The WordPerfect word processing program is written for Data General minicomputers in 1982 by Satellite Software International. The program is ported to the IBM PC as the company renames itself WordPerfect Corporation. The program's popularity takes off with WordPerfect 4.2 in 1986, and becomes the de facto standard word processor until the mid 1990s, when it is eclipsed by Microsoft Word.
