====DataPerfect====
Another program distributed through WordPerfect Corporation (and later through Novell) was DataPerfect for DOS, a fast and capable hierarchical database management system (DBMS) requiring as little as 300 KB of free DOS memory to run. It was written by Lew Bastian. In December 1995, Novell released DataPerfect as copyrighted freeware and allowed the original author to continue to update the program. Updates were developed until at least 2008.

DataPerfect supports up to 99 data files ("panels") with each holding up to 16 million records of up to 125 fields and an unlimited number of variable-length memo fields which can store up to 64,000 characters each. Networked, DataPerfect supports up to {{val|10000|fmt=commas}} simultaneous users.<ref>{{cite magazine |title = DataPerfect: A Perfect Database for the Palmtop |first = Ralph |last = Alvy |date = 2010 |magazine = [[The HP Palmtop Paper]] |volume = 8 |number = 1 |publisher = [[Thaddeus Computing]] |url = http://www.palmtoppaper.com/ptphtml/43/43c00008.htm |access-date = December 18, 2016 |url-status = live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20161218105358/http://www.palmtoppaper.com/ptphtml/43/43c00008.htm |archive-date = December 18, 2016 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title = Pounding a New Nail With a 30-Year-Old Hammer |first = David |last = Britten |date = December 14, 2016 |url = http://dave.brittens.org/blog/new-nail-30-year-old-hammer.html |access-date = December 18, 2016 |url-status = live |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20161218105241/http://dave.brittens.org/blog/new-nail-30-year-old-hammer.html |archive-date = December 18, 2016 }}</ref>
