    In what language and for what purpose?

    Unfortunately, that might be tricky. There are only a few C compilers for
    OS/2 and they are a bit hard to find. I'm a Pascal guy myself so I'm not
    of any help to you on this.

    OpenWatcom 2.0 or the NetLabs ports of GCC are the 2 main ones that can be found these days. I do somewhere have a copy of IBM C Set++ on 3.5" floppies.

    Yes, lora bbs is free, but! lora is written in borland C

    You have to modify all sources to compile lora with gnuc/openwatcom/ibmc.

    It depends on the time you got. You've got to rewrite a crowd of libs to get it working with gnu-c. Even it depends on your programming skills with C.
