porting programs with dcom to unix

Hi
I have a rather large set of sas programs that i want to port to unix sas.
All of these programs uses windows functionality somehow. For example win API calls and ole-dll:s via com and dcom.
Now my company is moving to sas on unix, and we must port these apps (sas macros).

So what Im looking for is good info about how to handle the issues mentioned above (api, ole, com).

I thought of this: Let everything be as it is. The api calls can easily be re-written. But the dlls I still want to execute on pc sas. So, is there some combridge (not corba, too complicated) on unix? (Sun solaris). Is there a way to make "remote procedure calls" (sending oleobjects, differens microsoft datatypes) to a win server, from unix and back? How do I handel com obj:s on Unix?

Which course of action should I take?

Ps SAS - statistical analysis system is avalible on both unix and windows - programs are 99% transferable - except for paths (c:\ - > \bin\sas\shared\ blabla) and ofcourse COM objects, for example Ms word or inhouse built dll:s ds
