RE: CREATORS ADMIT C AND UNIX A HOAX!

Okay, so I decided to try it:

I cut/pasted "for(;P("\n"), 
R-;P("|"))for(e=C;e-;P("_"+(*u++/8)%2))P("|"+(*u/4)%2)"
into a file called "hoax.c".

Tried to compile it:

(w7) 4:13pm ~ > cc -o hoax hoax.c
hoax.c:1: syntax error before `for'

Eh?  It doesn't even get as far as the first word in the statement before
failing.
