Here's a Debian+corelwine-cvs success story...
I use Debian potato aka 2.2 (glibc 2.1.3 based).
My WPO2000 was completely unusable as supplied by Corel, because of
focus problems and hangups. (They also didn't honor their rebate offer,
so, not only was it broken, but also expensive! Grrrrrr....)
The process was simple...
1. Download
http://students.cs.byu.edu/~torriem/linux/corelwine-cvs-0.1-1.i386.rpm
2. Convert it to a .deb using alien:
alien corelwine-cvs-0.1-1.i386.rpm
3. Install the .deb:
su -c 'dpkg -i corelwine-cvs-0.1-1.i386.rpm'
4. Test it by launching WPO2000 applications prefixed with a library
path
override, e.g: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/corel/wine-cvs/lib wordperfect
5. If happy with the results, make it permanent.
As superuser...
cd /usr/lib/corel/
mv wine wine-orig
ln -sf wine-cvs wine
cd /usr/lib/corel/bin
mv wpolauncher wpolauncher.orig
ln -sf wpolauncher.new wpolauncher
I can't vouch for the overall stability yet, but it DOES fix the
focus behavior! WPO2000 now seems useable, where before it was a
hopeless basket case.
Thanks to Michael Torrie for pulling together the corel cvs wine rpm.
