&gt;&gt; Currently it doesn't even compile.  What I have is a big pile of
&gt;&gt; poorly commented and badly designed source

&gt; Wow, we're in almost exactly the same situation. I have 1.53 megs
&gt; of DOS source that needs to be cleaned up, fixed, bootstrapped
&gt; away from the commercial libraries it used to use, and forced to
&gt; compile under Linux. How about you? ;)

Total source size is a bit tough to estimate (there's a lot of dead
code, possibly as high as 70), but I'd guess about the same or a
little more for the base server (an embarrasment of grotty riches in
the language and VM code I'm afraid, the DB and threading/event
engine are the only really clean bits), and then another 3Gig for
the base DB and other supports (possibly 80% dead code there).

Them's the rolls with experimentation toys.
