Landon Curt Noll f64f244ba6 update due to recent commits
The largest change was due to modifying `ioccc.css`
that resulted in all year and entry tarballs being modified.

Ran `make update` to perform the above.

To build:

    make

To use:

    ./prog

Try:

    ./try.sh

Judges' remarks:

At this point you might be wondering, WTF?*

  • What The Freak (polite form)

  • What's This For? (you may be wondering)

  • What the Fish (python form)

How is this code obfuscated? Well look again:

    less prog.c

    more prog.c

Where did those underscores come from? Well RTFS!**

** Read the Freaking Source (polite form) ** Read The Freaking Screen (polite form)

If you are still puzzled, look at prog.c with your favorite text editor.

Author's remarks:

Follow these instructions literally!

    cat prog.c
    gcc -w -o prog prog.c
    ./prog

You will do a double take.

Hint 1: Do less prog.c. You will see an emphasized string if your terminal supports bold.

Hint 2: Do wc -c prog.c. This is very long one-liner.

Hint 3: Open the source with an editor like vim or emacs.
