Quote: "1. How to restart the program? Just restart and reload all files."
While I have never actually done this, you could make a simple program for it. Have it as a separate executable, then call it in your code before terminating the program. For example, have both MAIN_PROGRAM.exe and MAIN_RESTART.exe, when needed to restart, have something like this;
dbExecuteFile( "MAIN_RESTART.exe", "whatever CL options", "..", 1 );
return 0;
This will run MAIN_RESTART.exe upon exiting the program. Then, once the program has exited, MAIN_RESTART.exe would fire up, doing something like;
dbExecuteFile( "MAIN_PROGRAM.exe", "whatever CL options", ".." );
// INSERT OTHER FILE CODE HERE
return 0;
which would execute the MAIN_PROGRAM.exe immediately as well as do any other functions you would need done.
Of course, I may be over-complicating the matter =P

Like jinzai said, just use a paintlike program to offset the letters however you want. I suggest GraphicsGale free edition as it has some nice inbuilt grids.
