There is a desesperate way. Build a TSR (Terminate and Stay
Resident) program with Borland. This program is just a little
main() installing a interrupt handler. This interrupt handler
drives the parameters back and forth to the Borland library that
is to be linked with this little .EXE . At the DJGPP side you
can call this TSR invoking the interrupt services.

This is a bad solution, althought i think it works. A better
one  is to seek a genuine DJGPP library, of course.

I hope it helps.
