One day, several years ago, I came across an article in an old Byte on "self-reproducing programs". I was a curious lad, and looked to see what the article was about. It said, "Listing 1 is a C program which duplicates itself. When the program is run it produces (on the standard output) a file containing an exact copy of its own source code". I was hooked immediately--these guys must be geniuses! I copied the article at once, and tried to figure it out, but I didn't know C at the time
