In 1997, Corel stopped WordPerfect distribution for various operating systems. The exception is Windows. As it is still being developed for Windows, you can find it within the WordPerfect Office suite.

Even if you can open WPD files with different word processing apps, their default app is WordPerfect. Other software that can open WPD files are Microsoft Word, LibreOffice Writer, and NeoOffice.
