I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean. DJGPP is a port of the GNU
C/C++ compiler and other utilities. It is a compiler package all by itself.
The only thing I can think of that you mean is you want to port your BC++
code to DJGPP. Yes, you can do this. If you get the GRX library and the
BCC2GRX interface package, you can compile code using BGI-style graphics
with minimal changes.

You mean, what hardware do you need? Basically, just a 386, over 2MB of RAM,
and some hard disk space.
