Hi folks, I've been dickering around again, wasting the time away.... and today Brian Zisk (chief Vorbis Evangelist among other things) said, "Hey! We need to demo to the world on the 4th of April!" Hooo boy. Time to suck it up and bang it out. The Vorbis libs are not a problem. I'm in process of checking...

...nly thing that stops me is the project's CVS policy. Submitting patches is fine for smaller tasks (single file bug fixes etc.) but larger tasks (like adding a whole test suite) really need CVS write access to be done efficiently and correctly. Perhaps its just me, but I don't have time to dicker with patch creation, wait for individual files to be added, processing emails that let me know when things have been added, wait for further responses on modifications, etc. I have a full-time job, a full-time family, and a full-time second career (erm, perhaps I'm just over-booked? :) I need...

Dear List, There's been some recent discussion on the list about benchmarks. I just read a Dr. Dobbs article on the relative runtime performance of various compilers (8 of them compared) on Intel platforms. The test focused on mainly template type things but offers Dhrystone and zlib for comparisons. There's no clear winner as all compilers perform well in some areas and poorly in
