Also, correct me if I am wrong, but I believe that DJGPP used with the
Allegro library could obtain the effects that you discribed. Also, you
might look into the ability to compile the wxWindows library under DJGPP.
And if you can do this without much trouble then you would basically have
the entire power of the MFC at your finger tips (with out the nasty head
aches generated by the MFC).

P.S. Web site for DJGPP is www.delorie.com. The Allegro library is found
somewhere there. Also, the web site for wxWindows is
