Coming to think of it, is the 3Mb size is for stripped or unstripped executable?.
I know 3Mb if stripped is not likely to come to 40K. Nevertheless the memory
addressing for UNIX is diff. from Windoz. May be someone else in the list
has a better knowledge of it.

I checked, the wrap executable in 8.0.6 dist for solaris is about 3MB, but
for 9.2 in Windows it's only about 40k. It shouldn't be that hard to reverse
engineer it.
Probably the ones who already have cracked the algorithm aren't spreading
the knowledge - why should they anyway?!
