As was discussed with Landon this was a mistake even if it helped with
consistency. There was even a brilliant pun that was destroyed with that
commit which I think is worth pointing out:

    cp README.md hill
    ./ant hill

in 1991/ant ... even if it's technically 'anthill'.

I hope that I got all links fixed in years.html and winners.html. As
well I tried to make sure I got all handles fixed in all/summary.txt.
Nevertheless these should be checked. For some handles they were never
updated (at least in the html files - though maybe summary.txt too, not
sure) in the first place so there was nothing to do.

Typo fixes like references to *.hint when it should be README.md. There
probably are others that need to be fixed but haven't been located yet.

## Judges' comments
You may also want to try the author's test suite:
make -f ant.test.mk
See the author's Posix P1003.2-like documentation file ant.txt
for more information.
This program demonstrates that Posix doesn't guarantee readability. :-)
## Author's comments
Some of the features of my entry are:
o "Lengthy" POSIX.2 style specification and manual :) :)
o Useful subset of POSIX.2 Extended Regular Expressions.
o Recursive ERE parser/compiler that generates an NFA railroad.
o Lazy NFA to DFA evaluation to improve performance speed.
o Code tested on a variety of platforms.
o Make driven test script.
o Can be compiled with ANSI or K&R C.
o Not a toy, but actually useful and usable on systems that use DOS.
