Quickwin Reffresher

Hello,

In 2003, using Compaq Visual Fortran, I created a little Quickwin utility.  It is used to compare two files created using different releases of the same program. The user specifies two file names and a format - by one of two ways - and a kind of comparison (% or algebraic) among those records (lines) which fit the format.

Recently, I wanted to make changes to it (using Visual Studio 2010)and find myself in something of a quandary.  Part of it is just memory.  It has been so long since I did this that I can't remember exactly what was done.  As I look at the source code, it appears that the project was constructed from code.  And yet, comments in a couple of the files suggest that a graphics interface (analogous to the Visual Basic designer) was employed.  Certainly, I do not know C++ and could not have constructed the *.fd file.

The changes I wish to make would feature another control enabling the user to specify a target % to screen the difference entriess between the files.  So a graphics interface which constructs the C++ code and positions a graphics representation of the control would be highly desirable.   I do not see any way to get such a graphics interface (designer) to materialize when I create a Quickwin project with Visual Studio 2010.  I'm not certain that I should expect one/

II made some changes to the program (attached project) and it does compile albeit with source which I could not have constructed.  The change was minor compared to what I want to do and did not require me to do much to the included files *.fd, *.rc and *.h.

So my questions are:

1)  Is there a gra[phics designer which I lacked the wit to find?  If so, how dio I trigger it embracing the attached source code?

2) If not, is there a modern Quickwin reference you would draw to my attention?  I am not averse to learning a little C++ if that is what it takes to get this done.
