As the IOCCC website now is https enabled I have updated the
'http://www.ioccc' to 'https://www.ioccc'.
There was also a typo in Makefiles where it said 'for VERY WELCOME' when
it should be 'are VERY WELCOME'.
Finally slashdot.org is also https enabled so references to
'http://slashdot' were changed to 'https://slashdot'.
This was done by my sgit tool (see https://github.com/xexyl/sgit)
like:
sgit -e 's,http://www.ioccc,https://www.ioccc,g' -e 's/for VERY WELCOME/are VERY WELCOME/g' -e .
but because I didn't have a list of files that should be modified I had
to be careful which files to commit as I had files that were changed but
not ready to be committed. Since I did it in steps, finding typos as I
went along, I actually ran sgit three times but to simplify the above
(and to show that it's possible to do more than one sed command) I made
it all as one. Since I did not have a list of files ahead of time I had
to determine what files to commit, first going through them like:
for j in $(for i in $(git status|grep modified|cut -d: -f2); do \
git grep 'https://www.ioccc' "$i"; done|cut -d: -f1|sort|uniq); \
do git diff "$j"; done|less -r
(I had to pipe through less because of a strange problem with the git
diff which appears to be because of a terminal problem maybe due to the
command above but it was all I could come up with in a very tired head.)
The above and
git status | grep modified:
showed that some C files had been modified which obviously should not be
done so I had to do:
git co '*c'
to undo those changes.
Finally to commit the correct files I did:
for i in $(git status|grep modified|cut -d: -f2); do \
git grep -E 'https://www.ioccc|https://slashdot|are VERY WELCOME' "$i"; \
done |cut -d: -f1|sort|uniq|xargs git commit -v
or so (with any formatting issues or typos here due to typos in the log
due to the terminal (in)sanity issue described).

Judges' remarks:
Then view the output using your favourite
pgm viewer. If you don't
have a pgm viewer then we suggest the netpbm
toolkit to convert the image to a graphics
format that you can view. Most graphical web browsers can display PNG or JPEG
images.
p.s. Frodo lives!
An important aside :-)
BTW: if you haven't read The Lord of the
Rings what are you waiting for? :-)
You'll find out the source of the text above though you'll see that there are
some circumflexes missing! That's okay though due to I/O of the entry and in
earlier drafts sometimes the û with an umlaut had no umlaut but H after the u
it. The real text is:
Ash nazg durbatulûk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatulûk, agh burzum-ishi krimpatul.
which when translated from Black Speech means:
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.
Author's remarks:
This program takes a single command line argument, transcribes the argument text into Tolkien's Elvish letters, and writes the transcription to standard output as a portable graymap (PGM) file.
The specific transcription mode is the Black Speech (Tengwar mode), as used in the inscription on the One Ring. The program handles the following digraphs:
gh,sh,th: the corresponding tengwar are output for these specific sounds.mhdenotes the full tengwa for[m];mby itself means a horizontal bar above the next letter.rhdenotes the[r]tengwa.uhdenotes the tehta for long vowel[u:].zhselects the up-reaching tengwa for[z], whilezselects the down-reaching one.
Punctuation marks other than commas and periods are ignored, as are whitespace characters. In addition, the argument text must be entirely in lower case.
The following command thus writes a rendering of the Ring
inscription to
the file anonymous.pgm:
./anonymous "ash nazg durhbatuluhk, ash nazg gimbatul, \
ash nazg thrakatuluhk, agh burzhumh-ishi krimpatul." >anonymous.pgm
The source code assumes the ASCII character set; also, due to space constraints, the program uses rather inefficient algorithms, so it may waste a lot of time and space even when rendering moderately long strings.
The code contains a vector font which was derived by toying with Harri Perälä's Tengwar Cursive font. Currently, only the glyphs used in the Ring inscription are included in the font.
