Line 101: </pre> :: I found that the original program (well, at least, the current program) has 52 lines of source code, not 53. If there's a new-line after the "End x_", I can't see it. I looked at the Rosetta Code program via "edit", and there is no blank line after the trailing underscore. I used Regina (REGINA Q3.~~EEX~~REX >> Q3.OUT) and again verified that the version 3 REXX program did indeed write an extra blank line (for a total of 53.) The Rosetta Code view of the program does not show a blank line after the program. However, to ensure a blank line after the original source, I then added a blank line after the Q3 program and ''it still produced the same result!'' (53 lines). So two different REXX programs produced the same (quine) output, but the two REXX programs are different. So the one that produced the output as the same as the source is the quine program, and the other, ... is not. I used the FC (MS DOS), WINDIFF (MS Windows), and KEDIT programs to verify the outputs. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger\|Gerard Schildberger]] 01:51, 28 June 2012 (UTC) :: Also, since this discussion is now in the ''talk'' page, I'd like to point out that saying another version is a cheat isn't professional nor appropriate. If it ''is'' a cheat, then flag it as '''incorrect''' and state why. The REXX versions 1 and 2 don't open any external files, as per the task's description/requirements. -- [[User:Gerard Schildberger\|Gerard Schildberger]] 02:01, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
