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.
