There is a graphics library for C++ called "Amulet".  It works under
Unix
(gcc) and Visual C++ (4.0+).  That is what I wanted to use for mine so I
could Linux-ize it.

Sounds neat but I'm not into this aspect.  How about a seperate program
for
that?

I want one that will create a .gif or .bmp of the design.  It would also

be
readable.
