Porting MSDOS TurboVision application to Linux.

[steve d. <dy...@si...>]

I need to port a CPP TurboVision business application from MS-DOS to Linux
as it is becoming harder an harder to configure the newer versions of
windows to provide a correct environment for the program to run in (and I
cannot guarantee even newer versions of Windows will support legacy code).

The application originally ran in a pure MS-DOS environment using a
LittleBigLan network. I have ported it to run under Windows 98 and then
under Windows XP using a Linux based file server.

Is there a preferred flavour of Linux (Debian/Red Hat/etc) that I should
choose and which port of TV would be most stable? Should I use 32 bit or 64
bit target (and is there much difference in the performance)? Is there a
lists of Gotchas or potential problems that I should be mindful off?

Thanks in advance.
