Since you mentioned a variety of PC languages, a very interesting thing
to do is programs that work in all languages. For example, a program P,
that works with languages A, B, and C. Something that works with Visual
Basic, Turbo Pascal, and gcc, for example. For the program P, there
could be a universal directory lister, a keyboard interrupt that
handles up to 4 keys pressed at the same time to simulate an organ,
or a PEEK/POKE to the VGA screen.
A different kind of idea would be the C program that uses djgpp to
copy a rectangle of pixels (a subset of the 800x600 VGA screen)
FASTEST. The contest would provide a set of 100 differently sized and
placed rectangles to copy.
The Most Important Thing is that the entries be available as Free
Software, posted on the Web with a pointer to the web page here on
comp.os.msdos.djgpp.
