I have acquired the guidelines, rules and shell scripts for this year's Duke Internet Programming contest. Unfortunately the contest will start at 23:00 GMT and end at 2:00 GMT. This makes participation from IC teams quite difficult as the buildings are normaly closed at those times. I have written to the contest administrator and explained the situation, but I do not think that it is very likely for the contest timing to be changed at this stage. I am reproducing the contest rules bellow for anyone interested to participate via MODEM. The shell scripts are in dirty:/home/dds/duke/publicbin. Contact me if you want the shell scripts installed on another machine. Diomidis PS I think the best work around for this unfortunate time selection is to organise a similar contest at a UK or (if technicaly and financialy feasible) European level. I will be looking into it. -- Diomidis Spinellis Internet: dds@doc.ic.ac.uk Department of Computing UUCP: ...!ukc!icdoc!dds Imperial College, London SW7 #include "/dev/tty"
