Worked a bit on IcyBoard the last few days, set up a little test BBS. IcyBoard is a possible successor to PCBoard. AIM is to be fully compatible and run on linux/mac/windows - see readme for features/differences:

PPE files work pretty well - however would need feedback - still possible to run into missing functions.
PPL compiler/decompiler included - is even backwards compatible to all pcboard versions and creates smaller binaries.
Other tools are included as well - should be possible to import existing pcboard installations more or less - they're still dos so manual editing is required. IcyBoard is aimed to run on modern OSes and not DOS.
Release:
