+Standard IOCCC stuff
+--------------------
+
+The IOCCC has a web site and now has a number of international mirrors.
+The primary site can be found at,
+
+>	<http://www.ioccc.org/>
+
+Use make to compile entries.  It is possible that on non-Un*x / non-Linux
+systems the makefile needs to be changed.  See the Makefile for details.
+
+Look at the source and try to figure out what the programs do, and run
+them with various inputs.  If you want to, look at the hints files for
+spoilers - this year we included most of the information included
+by the submitters.
+
+Read over the makefile for compile/build issues.  Your system may require
+certain changes (add or remove a library, add or remove a #define).
+
+Some ANSI C compilers are not quite as good as they should be.  If
+yours is lacking, you may need to compile using gcc instead of your
+local compiler.
+
+
+Remarks on some of the entries
+------------------------------
+
+There were some outstanding entries that did not win.  Unfortunately
+some very good entries lost because they:
+
++ depended too much on non-portable side effects in expressions;
+
++ depended too much on a particular byte order;
+
++ required the use of a special script, data file or pseudo-machine
+  language that was not supplied with the entry.
+
+We hope the authors of some of those entries will fix and re-submit
+them for the next IOCCC.
+
+We believe you will be impressed with this year's winners. The Best
+of Show is a fine example of (retro) obfuscation.  But don't ignore the other
+winners!  There are games, puzzles, puzzle solvers, simulators, emulators,
+calculators and graphical and audio tools.
+
+This year a single person won three awards and another two awards!  Many
+winners won for the first time. (Please note that judging is done completely
+anonymously.  Be warned that we may disqualify entries that reveal the identity
+of the submitter).
+
+Final Comments
+--------------
+
+Please feel free to send us comments and suggestions about the
+competition, this README or anything else that you would like to see in
