DJGPP produces DOS executables, so DDE and other ways of passing data 
between Windows apps won't work.

The bets approach I can think of is launching a DJGPP program with 
"start", like this:

	system ("start djgpp-prog");

from a Windows program, then reading the file which is written by the 
DJGPP program as the output.

But I'm not sure what exactly is the problem, since I don't understand 
all the details of your setup.
