I was one of the winners. In the EMAIL confirmation sent to me were the
following paragraphs, which may help explain why you have not yet seen
the IOCCC results:
Tradition has it that the first presentation of the winning programs is
at the Usenet BOF. Next, the winners receive a copy of the winning
entries by mail. Soon after, an initial posting will be sent to
comp.lang.c, comp.unix-wizards and alt.sources.
The initial posting period allows us to clear up mistakes and improve
on the hint files. Often people report porting problems and suggest
changes needed to run it on their machines. Once this input has been
received, a final pass over the entries are made and sent to
comp.sources.unix and the uunet archive site.
