I'll look into it sometime, but we already have a choice of 
3 different Windows C compilers.

I don't think the Lcc bugs that crop up have much to do with the 
Euphoria run-time library as compiled by Lcc. They seem to mainly
be link-time errors when linking translated and optimized code,
plus the occasional code-generation bug on the translated code.
90% of the time, the errors go away when you remove
the -O flag from one or more .c files in emake.bat.

I will try the latest Lcc when I get around to producing 
a new Translator release. Last time I looked, he was posting 
a new release on his site every few days. I still recommend
Borland C over Lcc. Borland generates faster code and
is more reliable.
