You can only submit one source code file for each problem, either in C++ or in JAVA.

Every program should expect two command line parameters (the name of an input file and the name of an output file). Detailed directions will be handed out at the contest.

During the contest, the computers will be running Microsoft Windows. Contestants may write programs in C++ and Java. Microsoft Visual C++ version 6.0 will be available for C++ programming. Eclipse 3.0 or 3.1 will be available for Java programming and is recommended for JAVA. Sun J2SDK version 1.4.0_01 or newer (as a DOS command line program) will be used for processing Java programs under Windows. No other programming environment or language may be used.

• Brief manual to Microsoft Visual C++
• Brief manual to Eclipse (.doc)

All teams will receive with their registration package some brief instructions of how to use Microsoft Visual C++ and Eclipse system during the contest.

As a help in preparations, use problems from the previous programming contest in which participants had 2.5 hours to solve the problems (2005, 2006, 2007).
