DJGPP currently only supports program which run in DOS box under
Windows.  This means, you cannot call any Windows DLLs from DJGPP
program.  If your program does graphics, it won't currently work
under Windows.

I believe you can do this by defining a proper .PIF file for your
program.  If your program only does text output, you can run it
as ``windowed'' application as opposed to ``full-screen'' one.
