1. C compiler recommendations
I am a high school teacher, not a programmer, but I was delighted to
find that, using Euphoria, I could create a special purpose editor for a
100MB binary tree data file with which I deal.
The editor is less than 500 lines long. The most complicated thing it
does is finding powers of 2. The "includes" are: file.e, get.e, getch.e,
graphics.e, machine.e, dll.e.
I want to be able to distribute the editing program (and data file) to
several people as a stand-alone executable program. I think I understand
that this means translating to C and compiling. I do not need a very
fancy compiler, but I do want one that is likely to need minimal
doctoring of the translated code (I am not a C programmer).
Given the constraints, what is the best bang for the buck?

With the ($29?) registered version of Euphoria, you can bind the
program to create a standalone executable. Translating to C is really
only for speed freaks and dll creation.
See C:\euphoria\doc\bind.doc
