No idea. I think it would be an unwise way to do it over the
long-term, being ultimately based on an unfixable MS-windows foundation.
But you may want to look into CPRS running on WINE.

suggests it is an excellent solution, at least until a GNU/Linux port
of CPRS comes out.

Stuff that can be replaced with GNU/Linux equivalents. If you are
prepared for it, migration off MS windows is smooth, and will be of
great benefit in the long term.
