Amongst the changes here is that we do not need to have the hex or html
code (numbers) for open and close parentheses (in links) as there are
names. '(' is & followed by lpar; and the ')' is the same but 'rpar;'
instead. This makes it easier to remember and type and it generates the
same html as well (they are all valid). Now the markdown files are
consistent in this (in some cases hex was used and in others the html
code).
Although many markdown files were updated no html files needed to be
updated as it generates the same html. Even so I ran the appropriate
rules to do so just to verify this.

# Third International Obfuscated C Code Contest
|
|
|
|
View the `index.html` web page for the given winning entry for information on how
|
|
to compile it and how to run the winning program. Look at the winning source
|
|
and try to figure how it does what it does! You may then wish to look at the
|
|
Author's remarks for even more details.
|
|
|
|
The [rules for 1986](rules.txt) suggested categories due to the success of the
|
|
[1985](../years.html#1985) judging method. The maximum size was increased from
|
|
512 to 1024 bytes. Larry Bassel joined as the second official judge.
|
|
|
|
A poll was taken for the worst code for
|
|
[BSD](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_Software_Distribution) and [System
|
|
V](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNIX_System_V) program. The [Bourne
|
|
Shell](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bourne_shell) (`/bin/sh`) won for both
|
|
systems. The BSD [finger](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finger_(protocol))
|
|
program took third place.
|
|
|
|
[Rules](rules.txt) and [results](../years.html#1986) were posted to _net.lang.c_
|
|
and _net.unix-wizards_. [Micro/Systems
|
|
Journal](https://www.vintage-computer.com/publications.php?microsystemsjournal)
|
|
started regular publishing of the winning entries. The practice of making first
|
|
announcement of the winning entries at the Summer USENIX BOF (Birds of a
|
|
Feather) started this year. A notice was posted to net.announce.
