The menu in all html pages for the FAQ was fixed to link to the step 0
(of how to enter the contest) and also it was renamed ('Enter the
IOCCC').
I also went through the most important sections of the FAQ (how to
enter and the mkiocccentry related questions) and checked the
register.html, pw-change.html and submit.html pages. It is possible I
have missed something but I think it's in pretty good shape nonetheless.
To build:
make all
There is an alternate version for those with a compiler that support
-traditional-cpp. See Alternate code below.
To use:
./wall
Alternate code:
This version is the original but which can be used if you have a compiler that
supports the -traditional-cpp option.
Alternate build:
make alt
Alternate use:
Use wall.alt as you would wall above.
Judges' remarks:
The original version did not have a ';' character in the first line. This caused a number of System V C pre-preprocessors to gripe about a syntax error.
This program is a masterpiece of obfuscation and humor. Larry Wall (the hacker who gave us rn and patch, etc.) asks you to compile and consider the warning message generated by the C compiler. Then execute the program and type characters into its standard input. You will see why the compiler documents the program.
