We add an initial "_title_" and "_abstract_" to all entry `.entry.json` files. The `bin/csv2entry.sh` tool reads the `summary.csv` file and loads the "_title_" and "_abstract_" to entry `.entry.json` files. Changed `bin/csv2entry.sh` VERSION from "1.3 2024-09-23" to "1.4 2024-09-27". Perform `make csv2entry` to perform the above and test under macOS. The `bin/cvt-submission.sh` tool adds "_title_" and "_abstract_" to the .entry.json based on the `.info.json` file. Changed `bin/cvt-submission.sh` VERSION from "1.2 2024-09-23" to "1.3 2024-09-27". The `bin/entry2csv.sh` tool forms the `summary.csv` file based on the "_title_" and "_abstract_" fields found in .entry.json files. Changed `bin/entry2csv.sh` VERSION from "1.3 2024-09-23" to "1.4 2024-09-27". Perform `make entry2csv` to perform the above and test under macOS. Added `-H` and `header=with-header-3` to the `bin/md2html.cfg` for the configuration entry for `[12][0-9][0-9][0-9]/*/README.md`. Changed `bin/md2html.sh` VERSION from "1.6 2024-08-17" to "1.7 2024-09-27". All entry `index.html` files now list the "_abstract_" in a new `<h3>abstract</h3>` header. Changed `bin/subst.entry-index.sh` VERSION from "1.6 2024-09-23" to "1.7 2024-09-27". Removed `summary.csv`. Added `summary.csv` and `summary.numbers` to `.gitignore`. Sorted the result with `bin/sgi.sh`. Perform `make quick_www` to perform the above and test under macOS. Perform `make www` to perform the above and test under macOS.

Judges' remarks:
Questions to ponder:
Can you determine the relationship between the input and the resulting numeric output?
The program was not designed to process files with a certain octet value, what value is that?
Hint and Extra Credit:
This entry points out a minor flaw in the IOCCC rules that has been around since 1992. It processes a certain octet value in a way that differs from a strict reading of one of the official IOCCC rules. What is the rule and what is the octet value?
Author's remarks:
The main obfuscation is the way characters are recognized, which is done by matching the bit patterns. Minor obfuscations are:
-
Useless layout.
-
Useless variable names.
-
Recursive
main()instead of 2 loops (over input characters and over bits in the character). -
?:and||instead of if statements.
