If you want to stick to using DJGPP, then look for the DJGPP add-on called
RSXNTDJ (marriage of RSX/NT and DJGPP) that should do what you want.

If you want to move to windows32, as opposed to using DOS, which is what
DJGPP supports, then you can always use Mingw32 or Cygwin ports. See
http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ for more info.
  
  $ gcc -o foo foo.c -mwindows

creates one of those no-DOS-window applications.
