I recall some discussion in comp.lang.prolog a while back
(last summer?) about self-reproducing programs
(programs which print their own text when they are run).
Did anybody keep that information, by any chance?
Does anybody have any references to any literature
or any other information about self-reproducing programs?
Many thanks.
