I think you should seriously look into using the Phar Lap DOS extender tools to do what you want. You aren't using any assembly, any funny network calls or stuff like that, so recompiling should be most of what you need to do. You didn't mention in your summary what language the current code is in, but either C or Pascal is supported using the Phar Lap stuff. You could probably get a better idea about the effort involved if you talked to either someone that's actually done a port (we did a 2MB code and even more data port last year (two years ago? I think we were the first to ship a Phar-Laped app...), but I wasn't the one that did the work), or someone at Phar Lap. Also, I think they have a support conference on BIX, and Michael Geary hangs out in the Windows developer conference there, too. It doesn't sound to me like Windows is really going to make things any easier for you. Check out the Phar Lap stuff.
