Preservation Status

File format policy

The clone is aimed at practical WordPerfect 5.x document preservation. The strongest areas are bundled WP 5.1 document parsing, reveal-codes inspection, and host-side round-trip preservation work.

System Current direction
Bundled WP 5.1 documents Near-complete parsing and analysis against the available corpus
Overall WP 5.x documents Strong but still dependent on broader external corpora and DOS runtime comparisons
File preservation Preserve unknown codes byte-for-byte where possible
Layout behavior Continue matching original runtime behavior with focused tests
GUI/TUI Host terminal clone first with menu block font mouse and arrow-key smoke coverage; web app is project hub and wiki

ⓘ A 100/100 claim for the whole historical product still requires broad non-bundled corpus checks and original runtime oracle comparisons.
A libc-hosted WordPerfect-style clone with current Block menu, font attribute rendering, source repository, and downloadable Linux build.
