You must be looking at a different program.  My foo.c is 321 bytes, and
outputs the exact same 321 bytes.  It's not the same as yours at all.  You
use a for() loop to print an array of characters which are stored one per
line in the source.  I used a totally different approach: Representation
of the entire program as a printf format specifier, with one of the
variables being formatted as the specifier itself.
