Dear Listers --
Thanks to Kit Baum, package -quine- is now available for download on SSC. Details:
Quine: Stata module providing a self-producing program.
a quine is a computer program that, when run, reproduces itself verbatim. Quines have a self-referential structure characterized by the statement: Print all that follows in quotes twice, the second time in quotes: "Print all that follows in quotes twice, the second time in quotes:" This package gives an example of such a program written in Stata.
Best,
Matt Baker
