There's quite a difference between Visual C++ and C++.  The first is a
Windoze creation, the second platform independent, like the difference
between Basic and Visual Basic.

When you get to the interface, it becomes a choice between using
the tools an operating system offers or finding a C library that does
what you want on both.   Just a few years back I got interested in
adapting some FORTRAN programs to the pc.   Ran into the same
problem, find some display routines to call, or write a display
machine in FORTRAN, which I know well, or try learning another.

I think finding a library of display routines is the better route.

Choppy
