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.

To build:
make all
There is an alternate version for those with a compiler that support
-traditional-cpp. See Alternate code below.
To use:
./wall
Alternate code:
This version is the original but which can be used if you have a compiler that
supports the -traditional-cpp option.
Alternate build:
make alt
Alternate use:
Use wall.alt as you would wall above.
Judges' remarks:
The original version did not have a ';' character in the first line. This caused a number of System V C pre-preprocessors to gripe about a syntax error.
This program is a masterpiece of obfuscation and humor. Larry Wall (the hacker who gave us rn and patch, etc.) asks you to compile and consider the warning message generated by the C compiler. Then execute the program and type characters into its standard input. You will see why the compiler documents the program.
