Java source code, etc., with
instructions) to
john@december.com.
You could do this in plain text or as a uuencoded
file. Please check well in advance of the
deadline to make
sure we can unpack your entry--if in doubt
send plain text, with each file in a separate
email message with the subject line as the name of
the file. If you use Java, you'll have to send your
source code.
