Adapting to v2.0 should be possible by only recompiling the
v1.x sources.  Just be sure to not use any 1.x-specific
features, like video memory mapped to specific address,
support for a subset of real-mode interrupts via int86()
and the like.  If you are unsure about any given issue,
you might as well ask about it explicitly and in detail.
You can test your program compatibility for v2.0 today by
running it in DPMI mode (i.e., in Windows DOS box or under
a DPMI server like QDPMI).  It's probably not a 100%
ensurance ticket (what is?), but it's close.
