The lame387 (9/30/00 version ic 4.5) works great, 15% + speed increase and no
crashing.  Thanks!

I can't get any of the Intel compiled exe's to run on my old pentium pro
200 under Win2k.  Both of the 3.88a1's from Joshua crash and so does the
new MMX from Dmitry - as an external compressor to EAC.

The only one that works is the 'lame387' - 3.87beta (9/26) release.

Is it looking for MMX on my processor and then crashing, or is there
something different in the 3.88 code that would do it?

So it will be OK. When I had problems with the Intel Compiler 
settings the whole MP3 was broken, but it was really fast!


Ciao Robert

Basically, all I did was use the default switches in the VC workspace and
added /QaxiM (so in the MSVC makefile, there was only difference, I never
even looked at it though), I wasn't sure what else to add, I went to Intel's
web page and looked at a list of all of the switches, but wasn't sure what
else to use. I tested both versions (VC and IC) with 7 or 8 different mp3s,
all produced the same output, byte-for-byte, but those are just the files I
tested (Goldie & Adam F, drum & bass). Maybe there are cases where the IC
will screw it up, but so far I never noticed a difference.

My experiences with the Intel compiler are, that you can tune
it to produce faster code, but I had often a version that
screwed down the quality. If you found some interesting working
compile switches, maybe you will share them with us?

By the way, the switches in Makefile.MSVC are tuned for my
Pentium MMX.

This is great Joshua! On my Celeron 400 under Win2k 
it's 15 to 21 % faster then Dmitry's VC compiled binary.
