Vorbis dev - Jan 2001 - BCB build successful?

Ha ha!  I'm don't know what change I made that cleared up the 
errors, but I can figure that out later.  Of course, I immediately 
tested my new oggenc.

Using the same input file and default options, I get these results:

[MSVC]
        File length:  4m 21.0s
        Elapsed time: 0m 54.0s
        Rate:         4.8333
        Average bitrate: 129.6 kb/s
        File size: 4,229,428

[BCB]
        File length:  4m 21.0s
        Elapsed time: 1m 14.0s
        Rate:         3.5270
        Average bitrate: 128.4 kb/s
        File size: 4,190,289

The performance issue doesn't bother me; perhaps that one 
assembler routine in os.h can account for the difference?  Besides, 
this was hardly a controlled test and I made only one run each.

I have to assume the source I used is different from the source that 
compiled into the MSVC version I have.  Otherwise the output 
bitrate and file size should be identical, correct?

I'm hoping I can connect with someone so that I can make a better 
comparative test.

Not necessarily I think. If the compiler optimizes the float math and
loses some precision in the process, then the vector quantisation and
Huffman compression will compress a bit better (and quality will drop a
bit).
