	This does not exist, Word Perfect is only available for the
	386. When I was talking to the people at WP the said they
	had no intentions of porting to the 286.

	Lots of them, Fenix is a low cost Word Star look alike that works
reasonable well on the 286.

The suggested list (not best price)
Word Perfect (386)     -	995
SCO Lyrix (286)        -	595
MS Word (286) from SCO -	595

Hope this helps.
