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.

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.
