@foolestroupe your Linux syntax is not correct

one | two

will pipe the output of one to the input of two. Although this is immaterial to an program running within WINE.

WINE is a very well behaved environment, most likely there are a few details on Harmony that are from a much earlier version of VB and happen to have continued to work on Windows but not on WINE - the 7 bit writes sounds like one of these.

You can host Ubuntu live on your Windows system simply download something like

http://www.virtualbox.org/

and install Ubuntu as a hosted OS. You can then boot up Ubuntu in a window and then run WINE inside that to test Harmony. Its a bit crazy running a Windows emulator inside a hosted Ubuntu running on a Windows box but it works.
