Status - list of posted programs I have seen and collected:

    Anton Shepelev          2 versions

    Bart                    3 versions

    Ben Bacarisse           2 versions

    luser droog             3 versions

    jacobnavia              3 versions

    jfbode1029@gmail.com    1 version

    Kaz Kylheku             3 versions

    Malcolm McLean          2 versions


Collected programs were compiled and run as they were submitted,
except 

 *  accidental line wrapping in several programs was undone

 *  void main( void )  =>  int main( void )

 *  a #include <stdio.h> was added in one case

 *  a #include <stddef.h> was added in one case

 *  a few programs wanted to read a file name from argv[1]
    and wouldn't run without out one (the problem statement
    said to read from stdin);  those were modified to just
    use stdin and not do the argc/argv test.
