Actually, to be more precise, it produces 1/4 size ascii art pictures of its own source code, which, in this case, just happens to be shaped in the image of a camel.
Very very clever. Almost as good as the 12 days of Christmas in obs-C.
That was the first widely spread ioccc entry. There are better ones at ioccc.org though. I like the tic-tac-toe entry where the source code was also the tic-tac-toe board. You compile it up, run it with your move, and it outputs itself with your move and its move displayed, then you compile it up, run it with your next move etc. And, the more often you play, the better it gets.
I should submit something next time the contest is open...
