To build:
make
To use:
./prog > foo.c
Try:
./try.sh
The script will ask you if you wish to run make rake but this is not necessary
to fully enjoy the entry. make rake will run the rake.sh script and
then prog if all is built okay. If rake is not installed then it will check
that gem is installed. If gem is not installed it will tell you where to get
it and then tell you how to install rake. Otherwise, if rake is installed it
will try running rake and if that fails to run it will tell you to run a
gem command as either root or via sudo and then to try running make rake or
./rake.sh again. If rake succeeds it will run ./prog which can be used to
build main.c.
What is the difference between running ./prog and main?
Judges' remarks:
Big terminals with tiny fonts have their uses in certain cases. One of them is:
make treacl
./treacl
which is shorthand for:
./prog < prog.c > treacle.c
make treacle
./treacle

Remarks
You may want to use a large display with a very small terminal font.
