That program modified the executable IIRC by adding 16 bytes ? of
header to the main program. I dislike modifying binaries in such a
way, but at least Tony Price's method was a bit more suitable for
downloading dearchivers from a bbs especially if his comms program did
the conversion back to executable automatically.
