Epilogue

Almost Perfect, How a Bunch of Regular Guys Built WordPerfect Corporation, was originally published by Prima Publishing in 1994. It is the story of the rise and fall of WordPerfect Corporation from my point of view. The book sold almost 10,000 copies and is now out of print. The copy published here is almost identical to my original manuscript.  In this version I have corrected two factual errors, fixed a hand full of typos, and eliminated the last-minute Prima edits.  The epilogue includes the Afterword from the Prima edition and a few thoughts on what happened to WordPerfect Corporation after I left. 

I welcome links to this site, however, I ask that you not reproduce this manuscript except for your personal reading.  If you prefer reading a PDF version, click here. If you prefer an EPUB version, click here.

I hope you enjoy the book. Thanks for stopping by.
