Cody Boone Ferguson 41abeda97a Slight change in 'greater challenge' line
In the line in README.md and index.html files that said:

    ### NOTICE to those who wish for a greater challenge

I added a ':' at the end of the line.

There were some entries that had a link fix in the index.html file but I
only looked up through 1995/leo as those still have to have a 'look and
feel' check and it would just slow things down.

## To build:
``` <!---sh-->
make
```
## To use:
``` <!---sh-->
./prog > foo.c
```
## Try:
``` <!---sh-->
./try.sh
```
The script will ask you if you wish to run `make rake` but this is not necessary
to fully enjoy the entry. `make rake` will run the [rake.sh](%%REPO_URL%%/2014/endoh1/rake.sh) script and
then `prog` if all is built okay. If `rake` is not installed then it will check
that `gem` is installed. If `gem` is not installed it will tell you where to get
it and then tell you how to install `rake`. Otherwise, if `rake` is installed it
will try running `rake ` and if that fails to run it will tell you to run a
`gem` command as either root or via sudo and then to try running `make rake` or
`./rake.sh` again. If `rake` succeeds it will run `./prog` which can be used to
build `main.c`.
What is the difference between running `./prog` and `main`?
## Judges' remarks:
Big terminals with tiny fonts have their uses in certain cases.
One of them is:
``` <!---sh-->
make treacl
./treacl
```
which is shorthand for:
``` <!---sh-->
./prog < prog.c > treacle.c
make treacle
./treacle
```
When using a smartphone to read the output, you may need to
step back to see the bigger picture because that picture is worth
more than 1000 words.
## Author's remarks:
### Remarks
You may want to use a large display with a very small terminal font.
### NOTICE to those who wish for a greater challenge:
**If you want a greater challenge, don't read any further**:
just try to understand the program via the source.
If you get stuck, come back and read below for additional hints and information.
