Hello,

I've been interested in developing Win32 apps, and I recently
downloaded lcc-win32, a small (yet powerful), free C compiler,
complete with a resource editor and everything. My question is
this: since lcc-win32 doesn't do C++, but uses COFF object files,
would it be possible to simply use lcc-win32's linker on
DJGPP-compiled C++ sources?

Another benefit would be integer code speed. Since lcc-win32's
integer performance is 20%-40% slower than commercial compiler's
(according to its author), even C code could get a lift.

Before you say so, I already know about RSXNTDJ, and I used it
for a while, but decided it wasn't for me (maybe because I just
wasn't ready yet...it *was* a while back), and the GNU-Win32
project from Cygnus is nice, but is overkill for what I need.
I've already got plenty of Unix-y tools from DJGPP, and lcc-win32
uses the Unix makefile format for its 'make'.

Any advice on the subject would be greatly appreciated.
