You *can* turn a Clipper program into a 'proper' windows application by using either xHarbour (which is free, but I have no expierence of) or Alaska xBase++ (which is not free [not by a long way] and needs a fair bit of work).
Either one will produce a 32 bit Windows program (xHarbour may even produce one that will run on Linux - but I'm not sure).
Personally, I would move the application to VFP (again not free). If you can get the source from a decompiler, you will still need to do a lot of work, but it is at least doable.
just be aware that Valkyrie probably will not decompile a clipper app linked with blinker.
At least that is still in my memory of using Valkyrie back in the past.
I would recommend two ways:
1. to run the app without any change in DOS-Box
2. to rewrite/redesign fully the app in any new development environment (for example VFP) using all available new technologies
