I have just returned from Russian stage of students' programming compeition. Gennadiy Korotkevich is now a student in a Russian university, and he won again: http://neerc.ifmo.ru/information/standings.html He has a good chance to win world finals this year. Sadly, he does not use Pascal any more, since Pascal is banned from students' championship for a few years already. > So I'm all for adding a simple dll in the default windows install for > political reasons, even though it might not seem to be the right thing to do > to people who aren't involved in competitive programming. +1 -- Alexander S.
