Bugs and (Mis)features:

The current status of this entry is:

STATUS: missing or dead link or links - please provide it or them

For more detailed information see 1996/gandalf in bugs.html.

To use:

    ./gandalf

Try:

    ./try.sh

As the script asks, care to guess why these execute differently? Only the compiler knows … ok maybe other things like the author, the judges and perhaps you too?

BTW: it is perilous to ‘try’ the patience of Gandalf. Go ahead, ‘try’ it! :-)

Judges’ remarks:

For misleading C pre-processor output, try:

    cc -E gandalf.c

Author’s remarks:

The program requires an ASCII system.
