R help - Dec 2015 - Installation of S-Plus 6.2 on Ubuntu 14.04

I have many old datasets, scripts and functions written in S-Plus. I want to
transfer these to R. Basically, I want to transfer my old chapters (.Data)
entirely to R and have tried with dump(?., oldStyle =T). However, this is not
very successful; R cannot digest the dump files entirely.

Therefore, I want to install S-Plus 6.2 again under Linux Ubuntu 14.04. I have
the license information, and the installation works OK. But S-Plus needs some
old libraries like libstdt++, libg2c, and JRE 1.4.0_01, related to linux kernel
2.4 . Re-installing them causes conflicts with my present Linux installation.

Does anyone have a solution to this, or do I need to run S-Plus under an older
Linux version such as Redhat 9, which was approved to run S-Plus 6.2?

Alternatively, is there a better way than dump() to transfer chapters from
S-Plus to R?

Do you know what sort of S+ objects do not survive the
dump-from-S+-source-into-R procedure unscathed?  E.g., do you have S4
classes that don't make it or certain classes
of data objects?
