Okay, I know you're very busy keeping Euphoria up to date and all.  I just
wanted to make a suggestion.  Digital Mars C/C++ is formerly Symantec C/C++ and
is free(as in beer).  It is very fast compiling but I don't know about the
quality of the code.  If you drop LCC, you should check it out.

Also, FYI, Digital Mars D language is a compiled language that has a lot of
features that people around here have requested of Euphoria for a long time.  It
might be interesting to implement the public domain Euphoria backend in D.  It
would also be interesting to see if it was possible to create a Euphoria to D
translator, but both of those tasks are beyond my meager abilities.

On another note, can you implement wordwrap and preview on the listfilter
interface?  Also my sig consists of a line of dashes and then a sig but it
doesn't show up.
