C coding noobie needs help converting a 68k program to PPC/OS 4

[Duce]

I'm a relative noobie coder and need some help, and I'll explain the project I'd like to tackle.

I would like to port an old 68k Amiga BBS program called DLG BB/OS to PPC/OS 4.1.  The source is readily available in C, originally done with SAS/C 6 apparently, but I am not sure where to start as far as what I will need for devtools on my SAM/OS 4, any tips in general in regards to coding C on this gen of "Amiga's" would be just great.

As I said, this is pretty much my first venture into coding in C, so all tips and tricks would be helpful!  Browsing thru the code it seems fairly logical and not terribly confusing, but I don't know a heck of a lot in regards to C on any platform.

DLG BB/OS was a very powerful BBS back in the Commodore days, and a native OS 4 BBS program would be beyond cool.  All the old big names (including DLG, CNet, E!, Zeus, etc) all seem to have some ugly issues when it comes to running them on PPC/OS 4 machines, and emulating the 68k machines via UAE on a SAM is sort of redundant in my eyes.

Thanks a lot, in advance.  The previous author released DLG BB/OS open awhile back, including the source - if anyone wants to paw thru it a bit, send me a PM.

Very good news, Mousehouse!  Hopefully some more BBS's will go up and perhaps even the code makes its' way onto the new gen machines running Morph and OS 4.  Hopefully we can get some more of this old comms SW onto Aminet, either in sourcecode form or keyfiles released.

DLG was always a spectacular BBS package, but many didn't like it as much as CNet or E! due to the lack of a GUI sysop side.  I remember paying $300 for it new back in the day, back when TelePro Tech still had it.  Jay Miner ran his BBS "The Mission" on DLG back in the day, once of the first BBS's I ever called.
