Noll) Organization: Nebula Consultants in San Francisco Enclosed is 1 of a 2 part shar file containing the winners of the 1991 International Obfuscated C Code Contest. First, we congratulate the winners for doing a fine job. Their efforts and feedback have resulted in a number of suggested changes for the 1992 contest. Second, we will be posting, sometime in early October 1991, a proposed set of rules for the 1992 contest. At that time, we will be requesting feedback on the proposed 1992 rules. Sometime later, perhaps in early November 1991, the official 1992 IOCCC rules will be posted. Last, we would like to make an apology to the 1991 winners and to the net for the delay in posting of these results. The poster of this article (chongo) went on vacation (Eclipse watching in Hawaii), held extended discussions with several of the contest winners, attempted to formulate the 1992 rules, and just plain ran out of time. We hope to avoid such delays in the future. If you find problems with some of the contest entries, or find typos in our notes, please send PATCH FILES containing the corrections to: judges@toad.com -or- ...!{sun,uunet,utzoo,pyramid}!hoptoad!judges chongo /\cc/\ hoptoad!chongo Larry Bassel {uunet,ucbvax,cbosgd}|sun!lab p.s. previous winners are available on uunet.uu.net via anonymous ftp under the directory ~/pub/ioccc. The updated and corrected 1991 set will be deposited there when the 1992 rules are posted.

The rules, and sometimes the contest Email # address itself, change over time. A valid entry one year may # be rejected in a later year due to changes in the rules. The typical # deadline date for the contest is late May. Check with the current year's # rules for details. # # The contest rules are posted to comp.unix.wizards, comp.lang.c, # misc.misc, alt.sources and comp.sources.d. If you do not have access # to these groups, you may request a copy from the judges, via Email, # from the address above. # # The 1992 contest rules will differ from the 1991 contest in several # important ways. Due to these changes, there will be a delay in # the posting of the 1992 rules. We expect the 1992 rules to be ready # by early October 1991. # Archive-name: ioccc.1991/part01
