Exactly. There's a regular contest for writing this type of completely
illegible code: the International Obfuscated C Coding Contest, or
IOCCC for short. If memory serves, that code was the winner of some
year's contest, in one of the categories.

You'll find the author by looking in the WWW home of the IOCCC:

[Further discussions of this should be taken to the C newsgroups,
comp.lang.c or comp.lang.c.moderated, as they have no particular
relevance to DJGPP]
