Program "invicta" (length 4) by "John Lewis"

This was basically a paper that trashed lots of core.  Using a similar
technique to my original invicta, but scaled down to four lines.  It
beat everything I threw at it, but I did forget to test it for longevity.

It dies by itself after 350 some odd cycles.  Sigh.  Next time.


My rational for a paper was pretty simply.  There were no scanners.
