   Now, it is *my* understanding that Mark is describing the term "launching"/
   "boot-strapping" here. This is what I would refer to as "Self-splitting":

	   Strategy of amplifying the number of processes that execute a piece 
	   of code, using e.g. a SPL 0 instruction. "Paper" is a self-splitting
	   replicator. Code example:

		   spl 0
	   loop	move bomb,@loc
		   add #10,loc
		   jmp loop

   Or am I totally off here?

I agree, this is what I've always thought self-splitting means.
