The goal of the competition is to find solutions to the simple tasks by
using as much of ed(1) as possible. Here are the simple tasks:

       - write a cat(1) in ed(1)
       - write a head(1) in ed(1)
       - write a tail(1) in ed(1)
       - write a wc(1) in ed(1)
       - write a nl(1) in ed(1)
       - write a more(1) in ed(1)
       - write a grep(1) in ed(1)

For each tasks, please write a script which solves that task. Then send
the script to [email protected]. Every solved task gives you one
point and the jury will decide on how much ed(1) is used, if additional
points are given.

You can gain extra points by finding your own task and replacing it using
ed(1).

Submission deadline is until January 1st of 2023. After that the results
and the winners will be announced.

This year's prizes are:

       1st: The Art of Unix Programming Book
       2nd: Ed Mastery Book

Sincerely yours,
