Cody Boone Ferguson fixed this so it would compile and work with modern compilers. Thank you Cody for your assistance!

Judges' comments
Trigraphs are natural obfuscators. Most C-beautifiers become C-uglifiers because they don't handle them correctly.

Author's comments
All input lines must be under 232 characters long. The compiling platform should be ASCII based.
