Terminal output and partial screenshot

QuickLOAD is a ballistics software. After entering all data and clicking the
button to calculate results, an error message appears:

"Warning: Input of effective cross section area of bore is essentially larger
than caliber!"

This bug renders the application unusable. As user 'jkfloris' from WineHQ forum
confirms, Wine 6.14 was the last working version for QuickLOAD.

OS: Linux Mint Cinnamon 20.3 (64-bit)
Tested with latest winehq-devel 7.0.0~focal-2 from official WineHQ repo.

Installation:
- install winehq-devel + winetricks + ttf-mscorefonts-installer
- install vb5run via winetricks
- install demo software: wine qldemo.exe
- during setup wizard provide install path without spaces (e.g. c:\quickload)
- during installation, cancel search for QuickDESIGN ini-file
- after setup finishes, run 'wine QLOADDEMO.EXE' from install path
- dismiss security/welcome dialogs to reach main application window
- select bullet/cartridge from combo boxes; see values of 'Cross sectional bore
area' 
- click both 'Apply&Calc' buttons => error message as stated above
- dismiss error message and compare values of 'Cross sectional bore area' =>
factor 10 now.
