Borland is better choice. I made some tests with LCC two or three monts 
ago and as I know there are two big problems.

First, LCC strongly uses a math coprocessor for all math operation and 
Euphoria does not corectly operated with casting from floating to 
unsigned numbers, in this way statement like this : CONSTANT WS_POPUP = 
#8000000 does not work correctly and, what is worse, this folling down 
all coprocessor operation for this program.

The second, there is some terrible bug in WIN API ( I use WIN98SE ) and 
some function calls destroy the stack pointer. For example function 
FindWindow ( if I use both parametrs for this funtion) . This is not 
problem for original Euphoria becouse WATCOM preserve and restore the 
stack pointer for extern funtion call, but LCC does't do this and same 
WIN program crashed.
