Fix infinite loop hang in 1996/august

In macOS, for example, one of the commands suggested by the author and
by the judges (which was put into try.sh by me a while back) would cause
it to hang. The author's remarks made me try something: a file has to
first have lines starting with '#' (^#) stripped. Thus in the author's
remarks and the try.sh script this command was added:

    sed -i'' '/^#/d' august.oc

and now it runs to completion.

The README.md file has been format and typo fixed and this should
complete 1996/august.
