Mh, small chance that Warcraft will be available with source code - i
suppose you have to ask the manufacturer. I'll look into it. Will try Wine
certainly.
Thanks,

Unless you have the source code to the game, you can't port it. You
can
run it via emulation if you have the binary - See Wine, Dosemu to
run
older games.
If you want to port a game, most it seems are C/C++ and graphics
intensive. Some maths and programming knowledge needed.
See also portable libraries for games - Allegro, SDL.
