If you want to put a graphic on the screen, try the Allegro library.
http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/
Once you have it installed into DJGPP, try this code in Allegro
under Win 95/98's DOS box:

#include <allegro.h>

int main(void)
{
  BITMAP *bmp;
  PALETTE pal;

  allegro_init();
  install_keyboard();
  if(set_gfx_mode(GFX_AUTODETECT, 320, 400, 0, 0) < 0)
  {
    exit(105);
  }

  bmp = load_bmp("C:\logo.sys", pal);
  if(bmp == NULL)
  {
    exit(69);
  }

  clear(screen);
  blit(bmp, screen, 0, 0, 0, 0, 320, 400);
  readkey();

  destroy_bitmap(bmp);
  return 0;
}

It should display something familiar... Maybe the win-start...
