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.

# Tenth International Obfuscated C Code Contest
|
|
|
|
View the `index.html` web page for the given winning entry for information on how
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
Name and address information are separated from the actual program
|
|
prior to judging. This eliminates any chance that we would bias our
|
|
judging for/against any person or group.
|
|
|
|
This year was the first year that ANSI C was the default. Use of
|
|
classic K&R C was allowed so long as ANSI C compilers could still
|
|
compile the entry. If you do not have an ANSI C compiler, you may
|
|
not be able to compile the entry, sorry!
|
|
|
|
|
|
## A few notes regarding future contests:
|
|
|
|
Be sure to wait until the [1994 rules](../1994/rules.txt) are posted before
|
|
submitting entries. Rules differ from year to year, sometimes in significant
|
|
ways.
|
|
|
|
In [1994](../1994/index.html), we will retract the guideline that discouraged
|
|
the use of C constructs such as `3["curds"]`. At one time, certain ANSI
|
|
compilers did not consider such expressions to be valid ANSI C. Alert readers
|
|
noted that the current ANSI standard considered them to be valid. We were
|
|
unable to find an ANSI C compiler that flagged such expressions as errors.
|
|
|
|
Please send us comments and suggestions what we have expressed above.
|
|
Also include anything else that you would like to see in future contests.
|
|
See [How to contact the IOCCC](../contact.html) for how to provide
|
|
us with your comments and suggestions today.
|
|
|
|
For those who appreciate a bit of Internet history, this is how
|
|
people used to contact the IOCCC in this given year, via [Unix to Unix CoPy
|
|
(UUCP)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UUCP#Mail_routing):

We would like to thank Barbara Frezza for her role as official chef
