Does this program need some EMS or XMS memory?
If not, maybe you can get around the problem, if your DJGPP program
writes a batch file that starts your old program and then restarts your
DJGPP-program with a /restart parameter. Then feed the name of this
batch file and a '\r' to the keyboard buffer and exit your DJGPP
program. 

Of course this would implicate that your DJGPP program would have to
reinitialize itsself after restarting, and this could be kind of
troublesome. Maybe the gurus her know of a way how to save and reload
the memory image of a DJGPP program to get around this problem?
