This is not only to help with formatting - especially important in markdown files - but it's no longer really necessary to do it. One might not feel the need to do it in non-markdown files but I did it anyway to be consistent. Thus instead of showing Un*x/UN*X it shows Unix/UNIX. A question of whether or not it should all be the same case is another thing entirely but if this is desired at some point it should be easy to do anyway - with some care in case it's in formatted text. A note about the glob: why '.' when there are C files and other file types where it could be dangerous to modify? Because I did a git grep first so I knew that it was safe.

I'm sure you have all seen gross, or down right structurally obscene C
|
|
source code before. Some people who deal with various parts of the
|
|
UNIX source wonder if some folks try rather hard to produce such
|
|
down right smelly code.
|
|
|
|
Now you have the chance to compete with the worst C hackers around
|
|
by sending in your own obfuscated C program. Just follow the contest
|
|
rules below:
|
|
1) the source file must be no more than 512 bytes long
|
|
|
|
2) mail your source to: hplabs!nsc!chongo
|
|
no later than April 11, 1984. entries posted to
|
|
the net will NOT be accepted. please give your
|
|
letter the subject of: obfuscated C code contest.
|
|
|
|
3) winning entries will be posted to net.lang.c after
|
|
April 12, 1894. (thats the prize folks)
|
|
|
|
4) indicate your net address in the text of your
|
|
entry, this will be used to give credit unless
|
|
you indicate that you want to remain anonymous.
|
|
|
|
5) entries must be of original work. (dont send anything
|
|
that might upset Big Brother Bell) all entries are
|
|
public domain. (who would want to own them anyway?!)
|
|
|
|
Entries will be judged for: violations of structured programming, non-clarity,
|
|
and use of "by the K&R book" C. (use of local mods to C are not encouraged)
|
|
extra credit if they can be compiled using the 4.2BSD C compiler on our VAX 780,
|
|
but dont let the lack of a 780 or 4.2 discourage you!
