In theory, would it be possible to easily port it to another compiler?
I have Visual Studio 7 but not everybody has it.

Maybe we could start be taking a portable paint device; rectangles, fonts,
frames & events and we could mix your code to it portably.  We could then
implement groups, line edits, ...,  Excel ;)

I suggest taking maybe some classes of WxWindows or Qt for basic portable
[x1, y1, x2, y2] paint devices.  This would be a beginning.
