A quick glance is inconclusive.  For some reason, the programmer chose to
"strip" the executable so that there are no procedure names or anything else
in the .exe...  I see some things that are similar to things in Crafty, some

Next step is to look for specific bitmap patterns with a program I have.  More
later as this is a time-consuming step.
