Jesse, Thanks for the advice. I ran the statements in your email and then ran moneydance_linux_x86.sh. It grumbled about needing access to an X server but never the less installed Moneydance in /usr/local/moneydance. The program seems to have found all my old data so I'm back in operation. Thanks for all your help.
