wine users - Apr 2003 - Problems Running Word Perfect 9 for Win32 under Wine

I am able to open Corel Word Perfect 9 for Windows in Wine. I am able to
create new documents. I can save documents. But when I go to open an
existing document, either on the /mnt/windows or on the /mnt/floppy, Word
Perfect 9 crashes and I get an error log similar to the following:

Note: I can open Notepad. I can create new documents and save them, I can
also read existing documents on both my /mnt/windows and on my /mnt/floppy
and save them. Notepad does not crash on reading/writing files, WP9 does.

Hmm, don't know WP9 much, but WP used to have a 
feature called (IIRC) enhanced file dialogs. It was an 
option to replace the standard Windows File Open and 
such like dialog boxes with enhanced ones.

Those enhanced dialog boxes sometimes caused WP to 
crash on some systems (regular Windows ones).

You might see if there's an option under preferences to 
not use enhanced dialog boxes and see if that helps.
