The translator uses a compiler to convert  Euphoria to compatible C/C++
modules, depending on the compiler.

You can then use "make.bat" that is produced to link the C source code wich
takes care of any posibble parameters you may have needed.

This means you dont really have to use Borland or
the Watcom C compiler manualy at all.
