Steven, did you look at the code?
The offending procedure:

void putpixel
(int i, int j, int color)
{
   char far *address;        //WILL NOT WORK IN DJGPP
   long int location, offset;
   int bank;

   if (mode == 0x13) offset = linetable[j] + (long)i;
   else
   {
      location = linetable[j] + (long)i;
      bank = location >> locationshift;
      offset = location - ((long)bank << locationshift);
      if (bank != activebank)
      {
  activebank = bank;
  bank = bank << bankshift;
         asm mov dx, [bank];    //CANNOT WORK IN DJGPP!!!!
         asm mov bx, 0000h;
  asm call dword ptr [winfuncptr];
      }
   }
   address = (char far *)(0xA0000000L + offset);    //WON'T WORK EITHER
   *address = color;
}
