Although the CURRENT WordPerfect file format is about 18 years old (it was created, as a result of MS breaking the old 5 format) in 1994.
To the best of my knowledge, WordPerfect files are both backwards AND forwards compatible between v6.0 (released in 1994 as I said) and the latest version.
So incompatibility like this is a deliberate or accidental vendor choice, not something that is inevitable ...
Cheers,

What influence has MS had on Wordperfect, which, like Wordstar, was something entirely different from MS Word and Winword.
