Version 9 (WP Office 2000) doesn't run natively on Linux. It's a port of the Windows version to Wine. Also, very buggy, as would be expected for a first port to Wine of the first WordPerfect for Windows version produced without the contributions of the original WP Corp. developers. The Windows version itself was pretty buggy in the initial release, the build that was ported. I've got a copy of the Wine port somewhere, but the bugs were show stoppers for me. My memory fades, but I recall vaguely that the worst for me was an inability to navigate the directory structure in the file Save As dialog, or something along those lines. It's really a shame that they never got to a service pack for that port. On the plus side, the port of PerfectScript worked well. Scripts developed for the Windows versions have to be recompiled on the Wine port, but there were few problems so long as you didn't hit a Windows dependency that Wine didn't yet handle well.
