Here is the smallest ctrace.out I could produce with a bug in the latest LCC
compiler. April 19, 2002 version of LCC. The Author of LCC claims to have
fixed a bug in LCC but it has broken Euphoria's ability to use the latest LCC
version.

lccbug.exw:9 valseq = value("5.81")                                
get.e:305     input_string = string                                          
get.e:306     string_next = 1                                                
get.e:307     get_ch()                                                       
get.e:45     if sequence(input_string) then                                  
get.e:53  ch = getc(input_file) 
=== THE END ===   

when it checks to see if input_string is a sequence it fails.....
so " if sequence( ) "  seems to be a problem.

Heres my test program:

with trace
include get.e
include file.e
trace(1)
sequence valseq
valseq = value("5.81")
integer fn
fn = open("ctrace.me","w")
atom val
if sequence(valseq) then
   val = valseq[2]
   printf(fn, "%4f", val)
else
   puts(fn, "You have been Bugged!") -- never gets here..
end if
flush(fn)
close(fn)
abort(O)

Im looking at the source to euphoria now in hopes that I can produce a
work around. I keep getting numerous errors when I compile Euphoria.

Error d:\euphoria\source\final\execute.c: numerous lines Syntax error; 
missing semicolon before (some code but I cant say here, sorry!)

Ive been unable to successfully run the debugger in LCC, it keeps crashing.
Too many damn bugs in LCC and Euphoria wasnt written initially for 
compilation with LCC. I have an idea to write a pre-processor for the 
translated code now that might speed things up but I still havent finished my
installer project, too much work to weed thru hunting bugs.
