quines and turing machines

[thomas m farrelly]

hi,

Long time no type! Well, I'm glad to see that you've got traffic. With all 
these dead or dying periods that the TUNES project has outlived, and me, I 
guess TUNES could be catagorized as immortal:) Progratulations!

And I have a question. What does a quine written on a turing machine look 
like? Does anyone have examples? Is it possible to create one that starts 
with an empty tape?

About quines: They are quite interesting programs. Legend has it that they 
can be written in _any_ programming language. They are programs that produce 
their own source code. I know there is a list of examples somewhere on the 
internet, but I cant fint it now.


Bye.
