Relax, no one suspected lcc-win32 of being unable to cope with this
program.

The OP is an *absolute* beginner (he's playing with a program from page 9
in K&R2).  It would be highly unreasonable to expect him to know what he
is doing...

Are you sure you have the right kind of documentation for such users and
that it is trivially easy for them to find it?  Yes, I could find the 
documentation of the command line tools in no time at all, but I knew
in advance what to look for.  The absolute newbie, by virtue of being
an absolute newbie, doesn't, and you can't realistically expect him to
read everything until he discovers the good (for him) stuff.

So, you may want to consider a very short tutorial of how to use the
command line tools, for the absolute beginner.  The IDE is not the best
idea for such people, because they are confronted with too many things
they don't understand at once, while a "lc myprog.c" that compiles and
links myprog.c, producing myprog.exe (or a bunch of error messages) is
exactly what they need.
