Visual Studio 6 will not install on Linux/Wine - at least I have never accomplished that. I copied the Vfp98 directory from a working Windows XP install to C:\Program Files\ in the ~/.wine hierarchy. It has worked reasonably well on several Ubuntu versions and for the last 9 years on CentOS 6. I have not worried about file associations, fonts etc. which do not work the same as a native Windows install as I can get by. And then I moved to CentOS 7.
CentOS 7 is "strictly" 64 bit. I had to build the 32 bit version of Wine and install it which I did successfully. I have a couple of other old Windows programs which work fine. Visual FoxPro 6 loads OK, I can open, create, browse and modify tables. I can run queries, print reports etc. The problem comes when I attempt to run a newly created .PRG file. For example, the command
Code: Select all
locate for vin = m.vin and tax_year = "2013"
Code: Select all
locaor vin =in = m.vin and tax_year = "2013"
Error in line 26: Unrecognized command verb.
Code: Select all

It does not work on CentOS 7 with Wine 1.8, Xubuntu 16.04 32bit with Wine 1.6.2 nor on Ubuntu Mate 16.04 (32 nor 64 bit - did not write down the Wine version). I am at a loss. Any suggestions?
