Entry source is now prog.c for IOCCC years 2014 thru 2020, or is now dirname.c IOCCC years 1984 thru 2013. To achieve this state, we renamed the following: renamed: 2004/hibachi/src/hibachi.c -> 2004/hibachi/hibachi.c renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.alt.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.alt.c renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.alt2.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.alt2.c renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.c renamed: 2012/omoikane/nyaruko.orig.c -> 2012/omoikane/omoikane.orig.c Modified `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` to add to entry `index.html` file, links to the `Makefile` and the _C code_ to the top navigation bar. Changed `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` VERSION from "1.2.2 2024-02-25" to "1.3 2024-03-02". Moved printing the Inventory link in the top navigation bar from `bin/subst.entry-navbar.awk` to `bin/subst.entry-index.sh`. Changed `bin/subst.entry-navbar.awk` VERSION from "1.0.1 2024-02-23" to "1.1 2024-03-02". Moved printing the Inventory link in the top navigation bar from `bin/subst.year-navbar.awk` to `bin/subst.year-index.sh`. Changed `bin/subst.year-index.sh` VERSION from "1.0 2024-02-11" to "1.1 2024-03-02". Changed `bin/subst.year-navbar.awk` VERSION from "1.0 2024-02-11" to "1.1 2024-03-02". Added location names (both default and common) to `author.html`. Changed `tmp/gen_author_json.sh` VERSION from "1.0 2023-06-06" to "1.1 2024-03-04". Added location names (both default and common) to `author.html`. Changed `bin/gen-authors.sh` VERSION from "1.2 2024-03-09" to "1.3 2024-03-04". The manifest and the resulting `.entry.json` files have been changed for `2004/hibachi` and `2012/omoikane`. The Makefiles for `2004/hibachi` and `2012/omoikane` copy the source file into the "previously used location". The `make clobber` rule removes the copied source. The `.gitignore` files have been updated accordingly. Improved how the concept of IOCCC terms _entry_, _author_ and _submission_ are used in markdown files. Links to markdown files (files ending in .md) within the repo were changed to link to HTML files (files ending in .html). Special cases where `README.md` became `index.html` were modified accordingly. Fixed URL for `bugs.html` in Makefile comments. Fixed name of `bin/sgi.sh` referenced in comments in `.gitignore` files. Links to locations within the repo are now relative. For example a link to `/contact.html` may become `../contact.html' or '../../contact.html` depending on the directory level of the markdown file. Nearly all links with absolute URLs under _https://www.ioccc.org_ or `https://ioccc-src.github.io/temp-test-ioccc_ have been changed to relative paths within the repo. Some exceptions to this (such as referring to a GitHub repo) were preserved. Fixed a number of inside `faq.md` and `bugs.md`. Added HTML name tags (in the form of an _entry_id_) for each entry referenced in `bugs.md`. Fixed links from outside of `bugs.html` into `bugs.html` accordingly. Where FAQ entries are referenced, a named tag is used so that if a FAQ is ever renumbered, links outside of `faq.html` will still work. Changed the _inventory_order_ of a compressed tarball from _300_ to _100000_. While this may have been done for the manifest, this changed had not yet been propagated into the `.entry.json` files. Links to web sites that were in the for <URL> are now [URL](URL). Performed `name www` to process all of the above. Improved format of `authors.html`. Full names are now bold. Location codes are now links back into `location.html` and location names (both default and common) are now italics. Added _author_handle_ each author. Changed `bin/gen-authors.sh` VERSION from "1.1 2024-02-25" to "1.2 2024-03-09". Improved format of `location.html` as location codes are now bold, author counts in a given location are now bold, and location names (both default and common) are now italics. Changed `bin/gen-location.sh` VERSION from "1.0.1 2024-02-23" to "1.1 2024-03-04". Added italic location name after location code in entry `index.html` files. Changed `bin/output-index-author.sh` VERSION from "1.4.1 2024-02-23" to "1.5 2024-03-04". Added _Location of authors_ to the sidebar as a link to `location.html`. TODO: While nearly all of the above mentioned changes are likely correct, they likely introduced a few errors that need correcting.

Judges' remarks:
Have you had your morning cup of Java? You might want a second cup before parsing this entry. And give your C pre-processor a triple shot as it tries to handle parameters for "stringification".
Author's remarks:
Two things inspired this entry. First, there were the C programs which were
#define'd to look like Pascal or Visual Basic: the
/bin/sh code from V7
Unix (which reportedly was the
motivation behind this contest!), the VAL
Linker by David Troendle, the
2000/primenum IOCCC entry, ... Looking at these
programs, I thought, "hmm... if it's possible to make C code look like some
weird cross between Pascal, VB, and COBOL, then how about making C code look
like some other language?"
As chance would have it, I was writing some Java code at that time, and one of my net friends was also working on someone else's Java code. We both hated Java; indeed, I hated Java so much that I was tired of hating it. Then I remembered my earlier idea: "Of course! Why not write C code that looks like Java? And poke fun at Java while I'm at it? All ye behold, as I turn anger into action! PH34R MII!!!!!!!" And so, this entry was born. :-)
Besides carrying a revolutionary message in the comments, this entry also draws a spiffy little Koch snowflake fractal on the screen, with the help of ANSI escape sequences.
The code requires a preprocessor that can stomach all kinds of nonsense that are passed as parameters to macros for stringification. GNU cpp handles such things just fine, but certain broken preprocessors may decide to freak out when they see macro parameters that don't look like C tokens.
