I doubt it would be easier to do in C++. It's just e question of designing
it and coding a lot.
You are of course welcome do do whatever you want with Dia, but i don't
feel like starting from the beginning, using a language i choose not to
choose from the start. Although C++ has matured a lot since then i still
think i would have choosen C, had i started today. Peoples opinion differ,
such is life.

Well, i don't know. Exactly what would using C++ to derive objects buy
you, except for some syntactical differences? This is not just a complaint
against C++, could you try to describe what you think this would buy you
in the context of Dia.
