Landon Curt Noll c78bda6c0f update tarballs due to recent commits
The commit a1c86c8a7a modified
the navigation bars to include "Original C", so all tarballs
had be update, sorry (tm Canada 🇨🇦).  In particular:

The navigation bar for a winning entry now has a "_Original C_" link
(between the ✅ and the Inventory on the right hand side) so that one
may easily view the original C code that was submitted for IOCCC judging.

In addition, a number of other commits since that time
modified other winning entries.

Ran `make update` to perform the above.

To build:

    make all

The author provided us with an unobfuscated version. See Alternate code below.

To use:

    ./ant Makefile

    ./ant Makefile rule

where Makefile is a Makefile to use and rule is an optional rule to use.

Try:

    ./try.sh

Alternate code:

This version, ant.alt.c, was provided by the author in 2024, and is an unobfuscated version.

Alternate build:

    make alt

Alternate use:

Use ant.alt as you would ant above.

Try:

    ./try.alt.sh

Judges' remarks:

Like much of POSIX, obfuscation has its place. Your task is to figure out where.

This entry comes complete with a POSIX-like command description. Interested POSIX balloters should lobby the IEEE for an obfuscated P1003 subcommittee.

Author's remarks:

See the file ant.README.txt.
