Hello fbmines,

This bug report could be closed now, what do you think ?
Would it be better to post me support request to the community ?
--- quote ---

which community? I doubt there are that much people out there who are
interested in getting ancient win16 apps to run with Wine. Even then, only a
tiny fraction from these likely possess the knowledge and experience to
triage/debug problems related to win16 brain damage.

Your best bet is Wine Bugzilla = here and wine-devel mailing list
(https://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/).

I don't understand the end of you message with the zip files.

The information at the end of my comments is for documentation. It usually
contains a hash/checksum of the archive, the archive size and the Wine version
used for testing. Sometimes I post a new stable download link as well and put
it into 'URL' field of the bug.

I've searched the Internet for a download of the application to be able to
reproduce your problems. Those things are very hard to find. Fortunately
Internet Archive / Wayback machine exists: archive.org . One of the few places
left to dig out old versions of software and research (now defunct) websites. A
gigantic digital library and graveyard.

A recent example some older folks might remember: https://tucows.com/retired/

MsMoney following upgrades up to MsMoney Sunset were less powerful than 3.0. It
had resisted most of the Windows upgrades including Windows7, I had to move to
Wine under Ubuntu 12.04 in 2012 then upgrade to 18.04 and except some minor
difficulties it worked correctly. Upgrade to Ubuntu 20.04 and Wine 5.0 last
month did result in the current difficulty. And isn't it Wine reason for living
to able Windows programs without regression (unlike Microsoft)?

Ok, that's something to work on. If I understand you correctly, MS Money 3.0
already worked with older versions of Wine and after upgrade to Wine 5.0 it
broke? That would be a regression worth to investigate. Do you remember which
Wine version worked well with MS Monkey 3.0?

Regards
