>>Because I can (and have) program games of commercial quality (my
Othello beats me) (except the graphics, of course, since THAT is
definitely not my natural endowment), using MFC.

However, casting causes me problems, I have to twiddle for years
making _read work, CString is so easy that basic::string drives me
nuts, ... so I decided to learn some REAL programming. And if drawing
the bmp from scratch doesn't qualify, then I'm done for.
