I use TurboC for the sole reason that I am quite used to it. It does
not follow some of the ANSI C standards.
see this could be useful to download. I don't know more about this

why lcc? why not gcc?

or here is a list

is lcc better in some way?


Yes. lcc is smaller, no installation problems, and it is a C compiler,
not a C++ compiler that can also compile C.

That is totally unfair.

Gcc is the Gnu Compiler Collection. Formally known as the Gnu C
Compiler.

The C front end to Gcc is just that - a C front end.
