Hi George,

in addition to what the others told you, take a few minutes
to calculate a wholesale port of the FPW app.

I've done a few (even quite large ones) - it is not all
automatic but less work / gets better results than most posts suggest.
It basically still is as FPW-app, but you have more OOP options
(in the GUI as well) than you think.

Major point IMHO: the problems you are facing with 32/16 bit
are an uphill battle: you will encounter more problems nobody
nowadays cares about, whereas porting will put you in "familiar waters"
very soon.

In doing some research on this I've found that 16-bit applications can access 32-bit backends through the thunking layer. However, I've not been able to successfully create a connection.
