+## To build:
+
+```sh
+make all
+```
+
+Misha Dynin provided a fix for [westley.c](westley.c) so that it may compile on 
+both K&R and more modern C compilers. Thank you Misha! The original code, used
+for entertainment and educational value, is in [westley.alt.c](westley.alt.c),
+described below.
 
 ## Try:
 
-	make all
-	./westley
+```sh
+./westley
+```

-## Judges' remarks
+## Judges' remarks:
 
 Your compiler must parse
 
-		#define _ -a
-		-_
+```c
+#define _ -a
+-_
+```
 
-as "--a" and not "-(-a)" or some other tokenized form.  Some strictly
+as `--a` and not `-(-a)` or some other tokenized form.  Some strictly
 conforming ANSI C Preprocessors may object to this: for such
 compilers, you can elide the non-standard token-pasting requirement
 by changing the #define line to:
 
-		#define _ F-->00||F-OO--;
+```c
+#define _ F-->00||F-OO--;
+```
 
 You might enjoy looking at the output of:
 
-	cc -E westley.c
+```sh
+cc -E westley.c
+```
+
+### Alternate code:
+
+To see if your compiler has the problem described above try:
+
+```sh
+make alt
+./westley.alt
+```
+
+Does it show the same output as `westley`?
