I wrote it ages ago, and I guess FreePascal gained some bloat in the mean time. Try compiling it with FreePascal's version from 2005. It's also possible I compiled the final release using Turbo Pascal, if I noticed back then that it could significantly decrease the binary's size... I'm not sure of anything. Also, it's UPXed of course.
