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.

Bugs and (Mis)features:
The current status of this entry is:
STATUS: INABIAF - please **DO NOT** fix
For more detailed information see 2006 borsanyi bugs.
To use:
./borsanyi string > file.gif
Try:
./try.sh
We recommend you input for the filename example.gif and for the string
ioccc@example.com. The script will not overwrite files. It runs the program in
a loop until you answer that you do not wish to make another.
Judges' remarks:
This entry uses a very user-friendly representation of the font it uses (with a few exceptions). Check out the source and see yourself! :-)
The resulting GIF file is likely to puzzle optical character
recognition tools. The amount of imagination necessary to
recognise the @ character will certainly challenge a few
anti-CAPTCHA tools.
Author's remarks:
Email address to gif converter
Introduction:
Most spam robots collect email addresses from the web sites of
innocent people, like you. Conference organizers cannot disclose
the participant's address to prevent malicious users from
grabbing them. One solution is to write as my_email _at_ address _dot_ com. But robots are clever enough to sort that out. A
more sophisticated approach is to create an image file with the
email address and put that on the web page.
This program creates a GIF image file from the address given in the command line. To avoid complications with patent issues the LZW compression feature is not used. A typical email address is stored in less than 1-2 kilobytes.
Usage:
make all
./borsanyi my@example.com > email.gif
my_favourite_gif_viewer email.gif
The address cannot be longer than 42 characters, and may consist of
the characters: a-z_A-Z0-9@.-.
The program is (like email addresses are) case insensitive.
Obfuscation:
Multicore support is a must in present-day applications. This entry supports up to 25 cores. The odd names in the bottom part of the program do have a meaning, they are not there just for obfuscation. The preprocessor is used to keep the program small, in fact, everything is a macro. Are you familiar with the GIF format? Studying this program will give you a (very) little insight.
Questions:
After analyzing the source code, try to answer these questions:
- How can you add a further supported symbol?
- Can you alter the look of the output characters?
- What limits the number of input characters to 42?
Portability:
The program uses POSIX threads (using the linker flag -lpthread).
The program accepts email addresses not longer than 42 bytes
composed from letters, digits, and the @._- symbols. An address
not obeying these rules will cause undefined behaviour. The
program is not expected to depend on endianness. The standard
output is used for a binary output, which might cause problems.
To avoid most caveats, the program does not output the octet
0x0a. The program assumes the use of ASCII.
