It's funny you say this...  I tried Wine last night.  My wife's last tie
to Winblows is AmiPro (now called WordPro).  I still have my orginal
Dos6.x/Windows 3.11 install hanging around just so she can use AmiPro.

Anyway, it runs under Wine, but I found that configuring printing & fonts
is a real bear.  Not a plug-and-run kind of setup I was hoping for.  The app
also had some fairly serious screen refreshing problems (leaving lines
and boxes all over the document when pagin up and down).  To be fair, I did
not read any manuals while installing Wine....
