Hard to say without seeing code and build system. Did you already consider to install a free DOS system to a virtual machine and to run the application there ? > Is DOS C and Linux C compatible, so that such thing could be easy? C is not a typical programming language on DOS. Similar to ncurses it stems from Unix. But of course there are C compilers and *curses versions for DOS. I would expect that the C code can be compiled on GNU/Linux. The adventure is likely to begin when the linker shall put together the compiled code and the libraries from where this code wants to use functions. > This application gets its signal then from the if-module via the souzndcard Access to hardware imposes additional adventure. It is likely that this part of the application has to be adapted or even re-written to what you get offered by Linux for accessing this hardware. (What is an "if-module", btw ? Google does not give me proposals which look like radio enthusiasm.) Have a nice day :) Thomas
