    If the program is completely ANSI complient, it should work.  I've
converted alot of code from Borland C++ v3.1 to DJGPP.  There are only a
few things that usually need changing.  Most C/C++ programs written in a
16-bit environment assume that 'int' or 'unsigned' or 'signed' will be
16-bit.  So if you change all of the 'int's to 'short' and the other
varients it should work with the execption of anything that uses assembler,
interrupts, interrupt remapping, or EMS/XMS.  The assembler code can be
converted, so can the interrupt stuff, and EMS/XMS stuff is handled
automatically (sortof).
