### Historical notes for this entry from the judges
The US International Traffic in Arms Regulations controls certain
exportations going out of the United States. The U.S. Munitions
List gives the specific categories of restricted exports. Because
this entry at one time appeared to fall under this restricted catagory, the
judges originally were not able to distribute winners outside of the USA.
Nathan Sidwell stated that he was willing to distribute the
winning source. To read HIS instructions of how to obtain his
winning program one was able to run:
make nathan
./nathan

old version of the IOCCC website:
nathan - obfuscation by (trivial) encryption (source not exported)
Brian Westley decided to just ``screw the (US) government'' and make the real nathan.c source available. We also note that Nathan Sidwell who lives outside the US made his own source available as well.
Anyone who wants to find it I am sure can but I leave that to them.
