I'd say that based on what the program is doing: displaying the data from the "1298" device on a "host" terminal, finding out what they are going to run the software on is the first step.

If they are going to run it on a PC, 80% of the program would need to be re-written, as most of the program is written to send the labels and data to a terminal.  This hardly makes sense if the software will be running on a PC (you'd use the PC display screen, and assumedly, some type of windows form).

If they are using another type of microprocessor, then you'd need to know how that processor (and C compiler) handled the communications for the terminal (asynchronous) and the "1298" device (synchronous).

I don't think the way to approach this would be a "line by line" conversion, but rather a "re-write" based on the specific tool used.
