Programs are programs; the difference is in the tools you use to compile
them.  ANSI-compliant code should compile and run with DJGPP just like
it would with Borland or any other program.  However, if you use
Borland-specific extensions, then they likely won't work the same way in
DJGPP.  The same goes for any real-mode trick such as direct hardware
access, interrupt handling, and the like.

There is an excellent document available that explains most of the
features of DJGPP and the most common difficulties encountered when
porting code to it from other compilers.  It is the Frequently Asked
Questions list, and is available from SimTel as v2/faq210b.zip or online
at http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/v2faq/.
