Cody Boone Ferguson 07ac50b610 Rename 1985/lycklama.orig.c -> 1985/lycklama.alt.c
Updated README.md to refer to the alt version instead. Note that it's
there because it provides fun output and also shows how it originally
looked (which is quite different from the fixed [for modern compilers]
version that I believe I made in an earlier commit but if so I'm not
sure which one).

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

Look at the README.md file for the given winner for information on how to compile the winner 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 comments 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.
