Have you ever actually installed and used a version of lcc-win32?


Nope. I use Linux. Why would I need lcc-win32?

But until recently, despite never having installed it, I had a link to it on my Web site, suggesting it as a free compiler that people might like to use if they happen to be on a Windows platform. I removed the link recently because, after reading what Mr Navia has had to say in comp.lang.c in the last few weeks, I lack confidence that the compiler is a conforming C compiler.


I still have your book in the bibliography section in my tutorial.
I am able to distinguish between my personal like/dislike for
a person, and his work, that should be judged independently of the
author.
