OK, the dll is not found:

mark at lightning ~ $ find .wine/drive_c -iname msvcirt.dll
mark at lightning ~ $ 

NO big deal to me to try the tricks that you are suggesting. Hang on a minute...

 mark at lightning ~ $ sh winetricks vcrun6

NOTE: I hear two 'uh oh' audio sounds while doing this but it seems to have
installed.

OK, having run winetricks MathCAD did apparently install correcly. No error
messages about dlls. However running the start command Vitaliy provided fails:

mark at lightning ~ $ cd ~ && wine start Mathcad.exe
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000500
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the
specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found

mark at lightning ~ $ 

Now, looking down in the Program Files directory I find the application is
actually "mcad.exe". If I change the start command to use mcad.exe the program
still fails to start.

mark at lightning ~ $ cd ~ && wine start mcad.exe
fixme:exec:SHELL_execute flags ignored: 0x00000500
Application could not be started, or no application associated with the
specified file.
ShellExecuteEx failed: File not found

mark at lightning ~ $

 However if I cd into the program's directory it does run. The GUI comes up and
simple things like typing in 1+2 and hitting return the program evaluates to the
number '3' so it works. However in Windows I see an '=' sign in the equation
while in wine I do not. Font problem?

   Also, here's what's in the terminal when I run MathCad 8 now:

   None the less this is a HUGE improvement over older revisions. What is the
right solution for Wine though? Should running your winetricks be done by Wine
itself to make it more user friendly?

   I suppose this means the original problem, installation, is now solved with
0.9.37. However it is clear that there are probably other problems to be looked
into like the missing '=' sign and who knows what else I find.

   Thanks to both of you for your help and insights. I look forward to trying
MathCAD out more seriously and seeing how Wine does.

   Let me know what other things you would like me to try.
