Wine would be great if it worked but it's still got a long way to go.
Admittedly I haven't played with it that much and it seems like you need
to set things up just right in order to get anything to work (except for
solitare. It plays like a champ).
I've also heard rummors that Correl used the wine libraries to compile
WordPerfect for Linux using the Windows source. I also heard that
WordPerfect isn't all that stable, but still. That's where I think wine
shows the most promise. If companies could trivially recompile there
software for Linux (or other unicies) I could finally kill the evil half
of my hard drive. I realize this would throw off the yin and yang of my
machine but I guess I could always install Vigor and restore the balance
of good and evil :0)

Try winesetuptk from CodeWeavers (there's a .deb package in testing and
unstable). It got me going with no fuss at all.
