It has been hacked.  I've mailed out several dozen copies of a version
that decodes as many files as you want (in fact, I routinely decode all
of the ST and PC files I pull of the net with a single command).  I'll
send a copy to Steven, although since I asm not the author of the
original, I really don't feel in a position to make a formal submission.
