Yeah, but I guess the constraint is that you have to run/process it in some= =20 sort of what would normally be considered programming environment ;) So, the error message approach, being a non-palindromic quine, will work wi= th=20 many compilers in fact. I guess the contest designers have to decide one way or the other on the "i= t=20 must be a correct program" constraint. Cheers, Kuba
