It seems like more than a decade that I've been going back to that Virginia University page for a copy of lcc-win32. What's more is the fact that I have totally read and nearly memorized the copy of the "Windows API documentation" whose link is now defunct.
The simplicity of the build process was beautiful, the size of the created executables remains still to this day the smallest I've ever seen. If only the compiler and linker utilized better optimizing algorithms, I'd probably still be using it to this day for production coding.
Batch Build process:
lcc -O -unused -c Test.C
lcclnk -s -subsystem:console -o Test.Exe Test.obj
It should be noted, that I still use this compiler for hobbyist applications and still have hundreds of applications that compile flawlessly using both GCC and lcc-Win32!
