Quoting the homepage:

"void main()"

or

"Miracle C will accept only file names of 8 characters
or less, not including the .c extension."


All in all, I am less than impressed, in particular I wouldn't suggest this
as compiler for beginners. The semi-availability of the source make it a
bit more interesting for people that are interested in compilers
themselves, but that probably isn't the immediate goal of anyone in
acllc-c++.

It compiles for MSDOS

As you (may) know, MSDOS is the operating system of the future.

In contrast to lcc-win, for example, which doesn't even compile for
Windows 98.

It offers to have you pay money for what you can do for free. It's
good for the economy, the children, saves the whales, and julienne's
fries. There's a remote chance that it even generates valid code and
diagnoses syntax errors properly.

A DOS board is very cheap these days. Whilst no one in the West would want
to use it as a general-purpose computer such as I am typing this at, a
supermarket till or a juke box could well still use DOS.
