That is truly amazing. I don't know whether I'm
happy or sad that I don't think I'm capable of producing similar source
code.

Subject: Re: [DUG] Converting some code
from C
You may have heard of the International Obfuscated C Code
Contest ... there is a 1990 entry you can probably relate to.
This code
primarily solves differential equations. But if you give it special parameter,
-r, it reverses lines in a file. Then if you run the -r on the original source
code and recompile it, it becomes a sort program. And if you sort the orignal
source code and compile, it becomes a Fibonacci sequence generator. And a -r
parameter on the sort program, applied to itself, gives you back the original
code.
