- 1988 marked the "The Fifth International Obfuscated C Code Contest"
-
- The maximum size of entries was raised from 1024 to 1536 bytes, however
- smaller entries were encouraged. Due to the "Best Abuse of the Rules"
- winner of 1987, a limit of 160 chars in the compile line was introduced.
-
- This year, the Grand Prize was given to the most unusual entry and best
- abuse of the C Preprocessor rather than the most well rounded entry.
-
- Rules and results were posted to comp.lang.c, comp.sources.unix and
- alt.sources. The 1988 winners will be published in the Micro/Systems
- Journal.
-
- Winning entries for previous years were repackaged with each year
- being in its own directory. Make files and hints were also provided.
- The package was posted to the: comp.sources.unix newsgroup. They are
- also available on a wide number of Usenet archive sites.
