Old COBOL app move to new server
We have an old ProLiant ML370 server (10-15 years old) running SCO (version yet to be confirmed), with a single bespoke Cobol app. The server is failing and I need to get the app up and running on new hardware or cloud.
I've supported ProLiant servers running Windows for many years but have almost no knowledge of SCO/Linux/Unix, let alone Cobol.
I'd be grateful for an idea of where to start here. I need to know what I need to be aiming for, e.g. will I likely be able to run the old Cobol app on a modern flavour of Unix or will I need to stick to the original SCO version? How much work is likely to be involved in getting the app working?
The app is an old green screen terminal style, accessed via telnet and terminals.

gsmarkupbrowser
GSMARKUPBROWSER.APP(1) General Commands Manual GSMARKUPBROWSER.APP(1)
NAME
GSMarkupBrowser.app - GNUstep Development Framework
SYNOPSIS
GSMarkupBrowser.app [FILE]
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the GSMarkupBrowser.app utility.
This manual page was written for the Debian distribution (based on the program's README file) because the original program does not have a
manual page.
GSMarkupBrowser.app is a GNUstep Renaissance utility that allows a developer to review the look and feel of a GUI based on its GNUstep
Renaissance Markup Language file (gsmarkup for short.) This allows the designer to develop the layout without having to actually have
working code to run the program.
Of course, the GUI is just for visual inspection -- it does not support any functional use of the application.
Renaissance was written by Nicola Pero (n.pero@mi.flashnet.it) and is part of the GNUstep project (http://www.gnustep.org).
GNUstep Renaissance home page is at http://www.gnustep.it/Renaissance.
