He doesn't need to write entire Windows program in C, just the
user interface and high leveol code, while the chess engine can
remain entirely in assembler (native 32-bit asm, with flat 32-bit
address space). One then includes pre-assembled OBJ files to link
in the C/C++ project. There will be some minor penalty (<5%), if
his old code was already native 32 asm code (not mixed 16/32),
otherwise the native 32 bit asm will run quicker.
