The script set the URL for the tarball of all entries in the year to: $YYYY/$YYYY.tar.bz2 but the link is relative so for 1984, for example, it would link to 1984/1984/1984.tar.bz2 which obviously is a 404. I also changed the formatting and wording of the link. It now is all bold and it says instead (for example with 1984): 'Download all winning entries from 1984'. Before it still referred to 'entry source' but it is all entries and more than just the source. This commit does not mean that the YYYY/index.html files have been checked (though it's likely that all should be okay at this point) but the manifest of entries and the tarball of all entries of the year should at least be good.
First annual Obfuscated C Code Contest
In 1984, the first contest was held. The name of the
contest was simply "First annual 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! This year we only had
remarks from two authors but these came years later.
Restrictions against machine dependent code were not in the rules in 1984. The source file size restriction was only 512 bytes. Rules and results were posted to net.lang.c and net.unix-wizards. The contest was announced in a net.lang.c post.
