In general, a DJGPP program should run on any machine with Windows 95
without additional drivers.  So this is some bug in the program that
goes undetected on your system but raises its ugly head on your
friend's.

One possible cause might be that your program opens some files that
are only present on your machine.  However, you don't tell enough
about your program to judge whether this might or might not be the
reason.  Without more info about the program (e.g., what graphics
library, if any, did you use), I don't believe there's some kind of
magic that people here could use to second-guess your problems.

Since the program exits but doesn't crash, you might consider running
it under a debugger on your friend's machine, or adding debugging
print-outs, so you could know how did it happen that it exits
immediately.
