Test Data, Sample Solutions and Test Programs



A description of the problems can be found on our home page at
http://www.acm.inf.ethz.ch/.

Some test data and all programs must be built first. Each directory
contains a makefile that will do that for you. It should run without
problems under Unix. If you don't have Unix, you should still be able
to figure out, what the makefile would do and run the equivalent
commands on your machine. Most programs were originally built on a
PowerMac.

The makefiles contain the following targets:

samples:	build the sample solution programs
testset:	build the test input and test output
clean:		remove everything that can be rebuilt
test:		(in some makefiles)run a self-test

In every subdirectory there's a script called "jd". It was used during
the contest for judging the submitted solutions. In most cases it just
compares the output of the submitted soultion against the test ouput
(called problem.sol). Notice the "-w" flag used with the diff command
so diff won't care about white space.

The test input used during the contest was sometimes smaller than the
one found here due to the fact that the contest machine were really slow.
