I have Win32Lib 0.60.1 here (on Windows 98), and just tested its
'clock.exw' program. The results are pretty much the same than yours:

- Interpreted with 'exw.exe' 2.4 (Complete Edition), it runs as
  expected. That is, it shows a window, that only consists of a title
  bar, which displays the system time.

- Translated to C with 'ecw.exe' 2.4, and compiled with the Open Watcom
  compiler 1.0, an EXE file with a size of 1384448 bytes is produced.
  Running this EXE file shows the same window, but its title bar doesn't
  display anything.

- Translated to C with 'ecw.exe' 2.4, and compiled with the Borland
  compiler 5.5, an EXE file with a size of 1376256 bytes is produced.
  Running this EXE file shows the same window, but its title bar doesn't
  display anything.

Strange.
