While not strictly necessary, replacing the two ASCII tab characters in the markdown copyright comment makes it easier to detect problematic TAB indentation within markdown files. After this commit, only 90 markdown files have leading ASCII TAB characters. And again, while not strictly necessary, we can consider running expand on those 90 markdown files to see what effect that might have on the HTML files they produce. Replace leading ASCII TAB characters with multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE characters (the default action of the `expand(1)` tool) might have an negative effect on some HTML formatting where **hack-a-round** formatting was attempted to fix broken indentation caused by problematic ASCII TAB characters. Think of this as a baseline for evaluating leading TAB characters within markdown files. TODO: Consider either using `expand(1)` to replace leading ASCII TAB characters with multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE characters AND/OR modifying the appropriate `bin` tool to convert leading ASCII TAB characters into multiples of 8 ASCII SPACE characters.

Alternate code:
An alternate version of this entry, prog.alt.c, is provided. This alternate code does not contain improvements suggested by Gil Dogon; it is the author's original entry.
Alternate build:
make alt
Alternate use:
Use prog.alt as you would prog above.
Judges' remarks:
For this one liner it is best to avoid prime numbers. The output groups factors in the x-y dimensions. How many factors can be represented before you run out of command line argument space? How could you modify the program to experiment with numbers that have more or larger factors?
Author's remarks:
Visual factorization 1-liner. Try:
gcc -o prog prog.c
./prog @
./prog @ @
./prog @ @ @
./prog @ @ @ @
./prog @ @ @ @ @ @
./prog @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @
./prog @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ @

prog.alt.c is the original version that I submitted. Gil Dogon kindly improved it during the review. Thank you!
