It depends on what the code is.  If it's assembler, it's not easy to port.  Not 
all doors are DOOR32.SYS either that are being produced.  It's mostly laziness 
because there is an excellent doorkit that can do Win32, DOS, OS/2, and Linux 
doors with a single source if the programmer is using Pascal.  If they're using 
C, they're probably using OpenDoors because AFAIK, it's the only doorkit for C 
available.

OS/2-wise in Pascal?  I think there's people in here that can help.  But 
remember, that was written in Delphi.  There may or may not be equivalents in 
Virtual Pascal for Delphi statements.

Later,
Sean
