Open through windows explorer (not the CM10K GUI) I thought this was interesting: "The King, Version 3.12 In 1987, Johan de Koning (de Koning is Dutch for “The King”) started writing chess programs. The first version of “The King” was running on a 68000 processor, which had been introduced in microcomputers shortly before. Always trying to improve performance, The King was rewritten for the ARM-family of RISC-processors and finally for the Intel 80X86-family. From the start, The King was given an attractive and enterprising playing style. Unlike many other computer programs, The King actively seeks attacking possibilities and is ready to sacrifice material not only on tactical, but also on positional grounds. Results and playing strength of the program steadily increased, and it has been among the world’s strongest ever since 1990. " version 3.12 caught my eye .... that was the orginal engine from Cm8K I believed....
