Anwar, this sounds like a daunting task!

It is difficult to suggest a migration path based on so little information.
Depending on how much of your code is closely linked to OS/2 specifics, a restart from scratch may be quicker and better than any migration path.
If your code isn't that specific, maybe you were lucky enough to use a development environment that can generate both OS/2 and WinXY code? (IBM Visual C, Watcom, ...)
Then a simple compile for the other environment should do the trick (at least, that's what they say on the box :-)

Of course, I'd rather have you writing code for OS/2 ;-)
