This answer (David's not Alan's) was so funny I fell out of my chair
laughing. First of all it's not Correll Office 2002, it's Corel's
WordPerfect Office 2000. And as Alan pointed out, it was abandoned long
ago. Which is a damn shame, because there was potentially a very fine
product there, but it needed a lot of work. To get it running on a
recent Linux distro you will probably need to do some work; install
corelwine or some other compatible wine, maybe even libc5-compat or
a couple things like that, but even if you ran it on Corel Linux, it was
so buggy as to be, well, maybe not unusable but extremely annoying.
P.S. I followed the link and noticed you can download Corel PhotoPaint9.

I wonder if some of Corel's Linux projects are still alive...
