My version was for Windows which they gave me to review. I did also
download their first Linux version, whose filename always amused me
(knowing some of the people involved :-) This was a gzipped tar file (no
filetype or extension): GUILG00

The point was that this was shortly after WordPerfect-for-Windows came
out — a GUI version was believed to be an aberration: the "real"
WordPerfect was still felt by staff to be the DOS character-cell version
(6), and many people would agree with them.
