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.

# First annual Obfuscated C Code Contest
|
|
|
|
In [1984](../years.html#1984), the first contest was held. The name of the
|
|
contest was simply "`First annual Obfuscated C Code Contest`".
|
|
|
|
View the `index.html` web page 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! This year we only had
|
|
remarks from two authors but these came years later.
|
|
|
|
Restrictions against machine dependent code were not in the [rules](rules.txt)
|
|
in 1984. The source file size restriction was only 512 bytes.
|
|
[Rules](rules.txt) and [results](../years.html#1984) were posted to _net.lang.c_
|
|
and _net.unix-wizards_. The contest was announced in a [net.lang.c
|
|
post](https://groups.google.com/g/net.lang.c/c/lx-TAuEyeRI/m/HdOOnNx6LC0J).
