Pascal compilers. FreePC (www.freepascal.org) specializes in Borland
Pascal compatibility for i386 and 680x0 architectures; GNU PC
(http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~gnu-pascal/) works over a larger
range of Pascals and machines.

I routinely run DOS programs on Windows NT, including graphic ones.
I can't see LogFlash as a problem: it is a very vanilla program from
the viewpoint of system services.

If GNU C can produce executables for a platform, so can GNU Pascal.
