Prepare for the winners of **IOCCC28**. > However these are not the 2024 droids you are looking for. :-) The HTML menu (both JavaScript and non-JavaScript) has been updated. The `Status -> Rules and guidelines' have been replaced with two separate menus `Status -> IOCCC rules` and `Status -> IOCCC guidelines`. Added a new top level `social.html` page: built from a new `social.md`. Sorted rules for building specific web pages in the top level `Makefile`. Added `make social` to make the `social.html` page from `social.md`. The `bin/gen-top-html.sh` now is able to process a argument of **social** to process the new top level `social.html` page. Changed `bin/gen-top-html.sh` VERSION from "2.0.0 2025-03-13" to "2.0.1 2025-07-25". Below `About -> Home page` a new `About -> IOCCC social media` menu item as added. Because the menu change touched every HTML file, we changed the general copyright date range for HTML files from "1984-2024" to "1984-2025" due to the extensive changes made for **IOCCC28**. Those markdown files that were modified in 2025 had their copyright date range also changed from "1984-2024" to "1984-2025". Rebuilt tarballs and sitemap due to the extensive HTML rebuilding. Ran `make update` to perform the above.

Bugs and (Mis)features:
The current status of this entry is:
STATUS: INABIAF - please DO NOT fix
For more detailed information see 1988/dale in bugs.html.
Try:
./try.sh
Observe that three of the commands in the script are:
./dale these files are in this directory: *
./dale $(printf "the following files exist in this directory:\n%s\n" *)
./dale "$(printf "the following files exist in this directory:\n%s\n" *)"
As the script asks what do the last two do and why do they do it? Why do they differ in format from the first command? Finally how can you get the more likely desired behaviour?
Judges' remarks:
This entry has a very twisted flow of control via recursion, iteration and multi-processing. Try to understand what is being done with the system calls.
NOTE: This program assumes the ASCII character set is being used.
