In order to free up my scratchpad, here's my entry for the no
\w characters portion of this contest. There are numeric operators, but no underscores (which was a trick unto itself). The invocation of the script is not counted towards the "no
\w character limit", or at least i didn't count it...
Well, ok, the first version uses 4 letters ('e', 'v', 'a', and 'l') and the second version reuires a special invocation. And no, neither of them are remotely strict or warning compliant. But hey, it's the best i could do. i'd be interested in seeing other's attempts (should they choose to go insane and try this as well :)
enjoy,
