Hardware

• processor: Intel Pentium 4, 1.5 GHz
• memory: 256 megabytes
• swap space: 500 megabytes
• disk space: your entry must fit in 100 megabytes
• temporary disk space: your program may assume 100 megabytes of free space in /tmp

Software

The operating system is Red Hat Linux version 7.3, with all the distribution packages installed and a number of additional packages.

The following programming language implementations are available on the machine:

• Assemblers (gas 2.10.91, nasm 0.98.22)
• C, C++, chill, objective C (gcc 2.96)
• C# (mono 0.15)
• Common Lisp (CLISP 2.29; CMUCL 18d)
• Erlang (R8B-1)
• FORTRAN (g77 2.96)
• Haskell (GHC 5.04; Hugs98-Dec2001; HBC 0.9999.5b)
• Java (gcc 2.96; Jikes 1.15; Sun JDK 1.4.0)
• Lazy ML (lmlc 0.9999.5b)
• Mercury (0.10.1)
• Modula 3 (PM3 1.1.15)
• Mozart/Oz (1.2.4 with contribs)
• Objective Caml (3.04)
• Pascal (p2c 1.22)
• Perl (5.6.1)
• PHP (4.1.2)
• PostScript (ghostscript-6.52)
• Prolog (Gnu Prolog 1.2.1)
• Python (1.5.2 and 2.2)
• Ruby (1.6.7)
• SML (Moscow ML 2.00; SML/NJ 110.0.7)
• Scheme (Rice PLT 202; MIT Scheme 7.7.1, scsh 0.5.2, umb-scheme 3.2)
• Tcl (8.3.3 with tclx 8.3)

Please Note that the absence of your favourite language (be it SNOBOL4, INTERCAL, or RedCode) does not mean that you cannot use it for this contest. The preferred form for submitting a program is as a precompiled executable, which you can produce by any means you want.

If you can't supply a precompiled executable, and want to use a language which is not on the list above, let us know where to find an implementation of the language, preferably in the form of an RPM, and we will consider installing it.

You can get the complete list of RPMs installed on the machine.
