DEC WPS Plus is an application with a set of functionalities for viewing the content of documents that are used in certain devices from Digital Equipment Corporation. Generally classified as a document viewer and word processor, the DEC WPS Plus program is implemented with compatibility support only for older versions of widely used Microsoft Windows systems, because development and support for DEC WPS Plus has been discontinued as of this writing. These documents that are bundled with hardware devices from Digital Equipment Corporation are stored in the DEC file format, and these .dec files can be opened to view its contents using DEC WPS Plus. Since the content of these DEC documents may have been embedded by its authors with certain formatting attributes and layout specifications that are available as options in DEC WPS Plus, other word processing programs and text editing applications may be unable to open these DEC documents or display its content in human-readable form.
