I've ported a small program from OS/2 to Unix. It included simple
file-handling, a (pseudo) random-generator and string-manipulation. But it
did not include Presentation Manager. The job was done after applying just
two or three minor adjustments.
For OS/2 I used the GCC-compiler that has been ported from Unix to OS/2 by
Eberhard Mattes (the EMX-package). And for Unix (Linux in this case) I used
the GCC compiler that came with my Slackware distribution.
I suppose that using GCC-compilers on both platforms makes porting much easier.

Hope this helps,
