Hmmm. I did exactly as the web page[1] suggests: "What do you do? Simply
print it out and delete the file, ready to type in at a later date.
Nobody will know that your blank piece of paper is actually vital
computer code!" I sure hope that I didn't mistake my only copy of the
source code for an ordinary blank page!
Perhaps writing my Befunge[2] compiler in Malborge[3] and then making it
to a Forth[4] compiler written in Whitespace[1] wasn't such a good idea...
