??? Why? DJGPP works on DOS and all versions of Windows. You can switch
the OS or you can stay with DOS, it's up to you.

You will have to rewrite it, or use NASM (which isn't part of DJGPP) to
compile it. Experience shows that in many cases ASM code should simply
be rewritten in C instead. Chapter 17 of the DJGPP FAQ deals with this
and related issues, see http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/faq17.html

You want the GRX library and the BCC2GRX interface, which provide
compatibility to Borland graphics. The .bgi drivers are not supported,
but any graphics mode supported by GRX can be used, including the
256-color modes. See the docs of GRX and BCC2GRX for details.

Anything you use with a real-mode TC program can in principle be used
with DJGPP. However, if you use a third-party library with no sources,
you cannot link it with DJGPP-compiled sources, since the object formats
are incompatible. An external TSR or device driver for TCP/IP is okay,
though.
