Even Homer nods!  Ken missed one:

I reverse engineered the one in the binaries group.  It's VRMLized
(doesn't have the angle brackets or the word color or the commas)
but that's easy enough to fix, because I also include the source!
Just change one sprintf() statement.  7386 bytes zipped, source, icon,
rcfile, makefile, and executable.  It only uses kernel32.dll,
user32.dll, comdlg32.dll, and crtdll.dll.  The makefile is set up
for lcc, but I'll bet it'll compile on Cygwin and MSVC++ without
much of a hassle.
