Corel WordPerfect Office 2000 for Linux

I can't remember now, but I may have posted this problem before, although I can't find any record of it in my email archives.  However, if so, my apologies.

My problem is mainly with the WordPerfect component of Office 2000 - it freezes at intervals (several times a day if I work extensively with it) requiring 'kill', and often 'kill -9' to shut it down.

I sent the following email to Corel, both in the US and in Australia, some months ago but did not even get the courtesy of a reply.  Does anybody on the list who uses WordPerfect 2000 have any suggestions as to what I could do next (apart from switching to OpenOffice/StarOffice etc)?

Text of email to Corel follows:
--------------------------------------
Good morning to whoever receives this email.

I am running WordPerfect Office 2000 for Linux version 9.0.0.765 (serial number WLSXR-6576253A77) under Mandrake Linux 8.1 and find it very unstable.  My version uses wine-wpo2000-glibc-2.1 version 2000.05.02.13.31-1 (bought 31 October, 2000 when I was running Caldera OpenLinux).

Do you have an updated version which I could obtain (and if so, how?) which reflects the development of Wine since May 2000?
--------------------------------------
End of text

I should add that I am now running Mandrake 8.2, with the same problems.
