Micro/Systems Journal has a regular column on intermediate-level C
programming (called "The C Forum").  Next month's (9/85) column will be
devoted to the results of nsc!chongo's 1984 Obfuscated C Code Contest.
While most people on the net are already aware of the contest and have
seen the most recent results, publishing it will gain more exposure,
both for the contest and for the winners.  

I encourage more people to enter the contest in the future.  At the very
least, if your program is selected, your name will be emblazoned forever
in a free copy of the journal, sent to you in a plain brown paper wrapper.
(Next time you give up reading your coworker's code, suggest that they
too, enter the contest!)

The magazine plans to continue publishing the results of future Obfuscated
C Code contests as well as other articles of overwhelming importance to
the C hackers of the world.

Micro/Systems Journal can be found at all better bookstores as well as
most Silicon Valley company toilet stalls.  For more information, contact:
