Borland 3.1 to Visual Studio

[DOD2001]

I have some old code written in Borland 3.1 that I need to convert to 32 bit code. Has anyone been through this and do you have any suggestions. I am new to programming and don't have a lot of time to get this completed, any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Old Code should still all work on a 32-bit platform.
Recompile it with a 32-bit compiler. Check for updated functions, for example 'CreateWindow' has been replaced with 'CreateWindowEx'. More Importantly, check for obsolete functions, for example 'yield' is obsolete. (These would be found on recent help documentation with your 32-compiler.
Apart from that, everything should be OK.

The old 16 bit code was written in Borland 3.1 and uses OWL1 libs. I am told that this needs to be addressed and corrected before it will be able to be compiled in 32 bit compiler. That is wher I am stuck, I have no idea how to get this corrected. Was I given bad info about the OWL1 libs?
