Here's a bare bones program in Python that computes the exclusive-OR (XOR) of variables X and Y:
```python
X = int(input("Enter the value of X (0 or 1): "))
Y = int(input("Enter the value of Y (0 or 1): "))
# Compute the XOR of X and Y
Z = X ^ Y
print("XOR of", X, "and", Y, "is", Z)
```
This program prompts the user to input the values of X and Y (either 0 or 1) and then computes the XOR of these two values, storing the result in Z. Finally, it prints out the result.
