Following your details, I can confirm it is UPXed. I have unpacked it, and
increased from 8264 bytes up to 17424 bytes.
Then I examined the headers, and according to the signatures (Portions
Copyright (c) 1983,92 Borland) it should be Turbo/Borland Pascal 7 compiled.
Hope that helps.

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.
