You owe it to Ray Pereda, who provided the proof that a brute force approach
would work. Before then all I knew was that the regular MS-DOS Icon
executable header method didn't work, and that I didn't have time to study
Microsoft's machine-code file formats. But it had been bugging me for a
long time, so when a solution came up, I jumped on it.
