It turns out I had the right idea all along - some variables need to be
FILE *; the others can remain int. Since they're used as files I think
it seems better to have them be FILE * rather than longs even if that
technically works.
I've coined a new abbreviation: IABINAF - it's a bug it's not a feature! :-)
Specifically the use of the CP/M emulator does not appear to work right.
Updated bugs.md.
As for the proper fix: it appears that not all the variables that I
changed to a FILE * can be a FILE * or else the wrong combination was
used. It turns out that using longs (like Yusuke Endoh did) will work
but in some cases FILE * is still used as technically the variables are
used as FILE *. I will very possibly look at finding the right
combination (or confirming that this is correct as is - though it seems
not to be at least not technically) another time.
Format fix README.md.
The problem is that 'int's were being used instead of 'FILE *'s. It did
not seem to crash in linux (at least fedora) but it did in macOS which
prevented it from working. Now it works in both. I got the feeling that
it did crash in some linux distros as well as apparently Yusuke Endoh
fixed it as well though he did it by changing the ints to longs. I'm not
sure if that would work for macOS; I fixed it prior to seeing this fix.
Some -includes were added to the Makefile too that might or might not be
relevant to the fix in macOS. It very well could be relevant though.
I did a partial format fix in README.md but I will have to finish this
tomorrow as I have to leave for the rest of the day.
The 2020 winners are hinted it, but the source code is not there,
nor are the hints. Someone could look into the HTML and
see what was commented out, but that is not a problem because
WHO won is known and the name of their AWARD is known already.
Moreover a number of the winners have talked about what their
entirs do, so the commented out spoiler text is not a bit problem.
One will find HTML commented out with:
<!-- XXX remove when 2020 is ready
2020 links here
XXX remove when 2020 is ready -->
The "XXX remove when 2020 is ready" string is found at the
start and end comment blocks. Again, soneone could read
what was commented out, but that is OK since most of that
information is known or can be known. The following files
have such HTML comment blocks in them.
./winners.html
./years-spoiler.html
./years.html
In addition, ./all/summary.txt was modified to not
include the 2020 entries for the momemt.
The 2020 winner code AND write-ups are NOT part of this set.
p.s. The all/all.tar.bz2 does not contain the 2020 source code (yet?).
