Landon Curt Noll ccc360b2fb move non-README.md HTML formation to bin/othermd2html.sh
The core of `bin/gen-other-html.sh` code that converts entry non-README.md
into HTML has been moved into a new tool: `bin/othermd2html.sh`.

The `bin/othermd2html.sh` tool will be useful to the `bin/cvt-submission.sh`
tool that is under development.

Added info about `bin/othermd2html.sh` to `bin/README.md`.

Changed `bin/gen-other-html.sh` VERSION from "1.4.1 2024-08-18"
to "1.5 2024-08-27".

HTML produced by `bin/gen-other-html.sh` now uses a "jump to" mid-bar
test now shows the `YYYY/dir/index.html` link text (with `YYYY/dir/` added).

Performed `make gen_other_html` to accomplish the above and to test under macOS.
Performed `make gen_top_html` to accomplish the above and to test under macOS.

<h3 id="deobfuscation">Deobfuscation</h3>
<p><code>calc</code> is a recursive-descent parser. It allocates from the stack deep enough
that all expressions are exhausted before the recursion stack depth reaches the
allocations. The memory map and source is documented in
<a href="src.doc.txt">src.doc.txt</a>. Tokens are encoded using values 0-20, where 0 is an
invalid token, 1 is minus, 2 is space, 3 is plus, etc. The necessary constants
are derived at the start of the program, using the guarantee that globals are
initialized to zero; so a correct NULL pointer is obtained from an uninitialized
global pointer variable, and the integers from uninitialized global <code>int</code>
variables. If <code>x</code> is a global <code>int</code>, then <code>!x</code> is <code>1</code>, and the derivation
proceeds from there, using some identities that are confusingly similar and
interestingly combined (increasing obfuscation):</p>
<pre><code> obc clr
--- ---
-~x x+1
~-x x-1
y-~x y+x+1</code></pre>
<p>The derived constants are a compromise between simple expressions, maximum utility,
and minimum number of variables used.</p>
<p>Command line arguments are copied into the upper half of the input buffer,
separated by a space. This allows the code to have a single input parser by using
a pointer-to-func to either <code>getchar(3)</code> if live, or a <code>getchar(3)</code> simulator.</p>
<p>A small amount of obfuscation comes from <code>void</code> functions declared <code>int</code>, but
missing <code>return</code>. This is necessary to allow these functions in ternary <code>?:</code>
expressions and paired with <code>&amp;&amp;</code> and <code>||</code>; but the requisite returns would add
symbol count at no benefit to obscurity or functionality. Function
decomposition was mostly chosen to avoid curly braces: if a <code>for</code>-loop required
multiple statements, the body became a new function. Last, but not least:
sharing state via global variables is an ancient and honored form of
obfuscation, and remarkably effective.</p>
