There were many files renamed in this commit and I hope I got all the references to the old names changed to the new names. To explain this commit there were some older entries that had the wrong directory name: not the surname but something else. Very possibly there are other directories that need to be renamed and I am actually aware of one right now but since it's in 2005 (which is close to being worked on) I am not changing that now but just noting it: 2005/anon should be changed to 2005/anonymous (unless there's a very good reason I am unaware of). But like I said since 2005 will be worked on soon I have not touched it. The Makefiles, .gitignore, the all/summary.txt, years.html and winners.html files as well as the directories and the files under the renamed directories have all been updated. This is a rather big update and it might be that there are conflicts. If so I will fix them. I will have to update 2005/anon later on to try and prevent this from happening but very possibly there will be conflicts here. It's also possible I missed some changes in years.html and/or winners.html and/or summary/all.txt but I think I got them all. These should be verified later on.

You may also want to try the author's test suite:
make -f howe.test.mk
See the author's Posix P1003.2-like documentation file howe.txt
for more information.
This program demonstrates that Posix doesn't guarantee readability. :-)
Author's comments
Some of the features of my entry are:
o "Lengthy" POSIX.2 style specification and manual :) :)
o Useful subset of POSIX.2 Extended Regular Expressions.
o Recursive ERE parser/compiler that generates an NFA railroad.
o Lazy NFA to DFA evaluation to improve performance speed.
o Code tested on a variety of platforms.
o Make driven test script.
o Can be compiled with ANSI or K&R C.
o Not a toy, but actually useful and usable on systems that use DOS.
