Post the simplest quine you can think of

Post the simplest quine you can think of in any language EXCEPT HQ9+.

A quine is a program that prints its own source code.

sh:

Code:

#This is a quine in sh.
cat $0

And a simpler one: (also cheap)

Code:

#!/bin/cat

The null program. Ok, so it's cheating. Oh well

Only works if the script doesn't have spaces in its filename.

CBM BASIC:
