Dear friends:

You write about my system (in your web pages):
>>
Translator and run-time library for Windows using LccWin C
LccWin is a free C compiler for 32-bit Windows. (5 Mb). Severe bugs have
been introduced in Lcc recently that render it almost useless for our
purposes. Until these bugs are fixed, we strongly recommend that you
download Borland instead. Lcc's -O optimization option is particularly
buggy. If you have any problems with Lcc, you should run emake.bat
again, but without the -O options. (But you really should consider using
Borland or Watcom instead!).
<<

I would like to point out that:
1) I have never received a bug report from your part. At least I do not
remember.

:: When we omit the -0, the compiler works perfect, which is what i need.
Besides, its free and is not command-line.

2) If you do not like my system, I would recommend you to avoid using.

 :: No one said they didnot want it. its just that people wanted to know if
it was a translator bug or the compiler. Besides, you compiler the one i
downloaded in August worked fine with -o switch. When the translator(new
version) was introduced pple wondered why it wasn't working.

it.  Borland compilers, as you say in your web site, are much better.

3) I provide my system for free, at no obligation from my part. I try to
improve my system as much as I can without writing any bugs, but as you
can see, I fail in this task, and I do make mistakes.

:: we as programmers all make mistakes, those times come and go

The best thing is
to use tools that are not in this stage of development like Borland
tools, or that have a bigger budget and commercial surface than an
individual programmer will ever be able to achieve.


For all this reasons then, I propose that you take out lcc-win32 from
the list of supported C compilers. Why make me negative publicity? I do
what I can guys, probably as hard as you do.

:: Negative publicity:: That is not negative publicity, pple are just being
advised on how to make it work.Sorry, if u see that as a bad thing.
