Congratulations to the winners and many thanks to all the authors who took part in this contest. As always the question: where can the programs be found ?!? Well, they are all available on ABBUC magazine 85. And if you are not a member of ABBUC you can 1) ask the authors to send you a copy - or you may 2) ask ABBUC (Wolfgang Burger at www.abbuc.de) to get a *free sample* of an ABBUC magazine (let`s say magazine 85 in this case), that will cost you only the porto...

Of course there will be a new ASC (ABBUC software contest) in 2007. I will post the new rules here, afaik the deadline will be the 15th or maybe 31st of August 2007. So better start programming now, so you have enough time to finish your program until then and take part in the next contest...   greetings from ABBUC, Andreas Magenheimer.

P.S.: The points are much lower this year, because we had fewer visitors at the ABBUC meeting this year. this was due to a big Retro-meeting in the Netherlands which took place at the same time (many visitors from the netherlands who normally visit the ABBUC meeting were not there this year)...
