That is to say in the bugs file it will look something like: STATUS: INABIAF - please DO NOT fix but as a html file it is already bold as a heading. This means there is no need in the index.html file to have the explicit **DO NOT** as it's in a code block and it is not consistent in what is in bugs.html. For instance 1984/mullender had: STATUS: INABIAF - please **DO NOT** fix but this meant the index.html file had the '**'s surrounding the DO NOT which is not consistent with bugs.html.
Third International Obfuscated C Code Contest
View the index.html web page for the given winning entry for information on how
to compile it and how to run the winning program. Look at the winning source
and try to figure how it does what it does! You may then wish to look at the
Author's remarks for even more details.
The rules for 1986 suggested categories due to the success of the 1985 judging method. The maximum size was increased from 512 to 1024 bytes. Larry Bassel joined as the second official judge.
A poll was taken for the worst code for
BSD and System
V program. The Bourne
Shell (/bin/sh) won for both
systems. The BSD finger
program took third place.
Rules and results were posted to net.lang.c and net.unix-wizards. Micro/Systems Journal started regular publishing of the winning entries. The practice of making first announcement of the winning entries at the Summer USENIX BOF (Birds of a Feather) started this year. A notice was posted to net.announce.
