Cody Boone Ferguson 0942f4e6b2 Mass typo fix in Makefiles
There was a comment in the form of:

    ... the liked/allowed ...

which should instead be:

    ... liked/allowed ...

and this was fixed with my sgit tool like:

    sgit -e 's,the \(liked/allowed or compile\),\1,g' '*Makefile'

1985 marked the second year of the International Obfuscated C Code Contest.

Look at the README.md file 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.

Hints against machine dependent code were added to the rules to avoid another 1984 style winner (1984/mullender). Rules and results were posted to net.lang.c and net.unix-wizards. Larry Bassel was invited to help in the judging. Awards were given to 5 classes of programs since we were unable to select only the best 4.
