Thompsons self reproducing program

[Charles E. Prudence]

Neither Thompson's "self reproducing" program nor the one submitted
by Larry is truly "self reproducing."  Both programs require external
data which is not reproduced.  The programs can be shortened by simply
copying their source files.  The challenge Thompson was referring to
is to write a totally self-contained program.

Any solutions?
