http://libarynth.f0.am/cgi-bin/twiki/view/Libarynth/SelfGOL I had the good fortune to sit in a nice enough bar, drinking beer (not the best idea considering) while he char by char worked his way through the script (it was an obfusticated perl submission). He includes evil things like stray parens/curlies so vi's '%' won't help you de-parse it and, even at a merer 1000 chars, managed to slip in useless code just to further befuddle. It was beyond humbling, made you want to give up even typing on a computer and go back to banging rocks and sticks together. a Andy Bach, Sys.
