The Open Watcom compilers are perfect for use with the Eu->C translators
for both DOS and Windows. (100% compatable with the translators/EU interpretter)
I use Open Watcom v1.2 C/C++/Fortran for testing and for actual use.
Open Watcom takes a while to compile large programs, but ultaminatly
produces the best compiled code. (I will use OW v1.3+ for Eu 2.5 and it's
translators)

Borland C v5.5 is very good too for Windows programs with near perfect
compatability and execelent compile time, but is a bit tricky to setup
to work with the translators at first. (I use Borland too)

DJGPP is good for DOS apps also. (I use this compiler sometimes)

The LCC compiler has some issues with the translators tho it has been
improved now, but I still don'tuse it.

Note: I'm still trying to figure out how to compile icons with my EXEs
      with Watcom, and DJGPP compilers. I figured it out with Borland.
