Convert WPD to 8 (Man Page)

The WPD file extension stands for WordPerfect Document, a proprietary format used by Corel's WordPerfect word processing software. Introduced in 1980 by Satellite Systems International, WPD files can contain formatted text, tables, charts, images, and other objects. Primarily used in business, academic, and home environments, WPD files offer a versatile solution for creating documents like letters, resumes, and newsletters. Over the years, WordPerfect has been acquired by Novell and later by Corel Corporation, ensuring its continued evolution and support.

The 8 file extension refers to Unix Section 8 Manual Pages, which document system administration commands, daemons, and hardware-related commands. These files are part of the Unix operating system's manual pages and are intended to be viewed using the "man" utility. Each 8 file is named after the command it describes, such as "shutdown.8" for the shutdown command. Historically, Unix manual pages have been a fundamental part of Unix documentation since the early 1970s, providing essential information for system administrators and users.
