I have the same problem. The exact message which came up when the program
is run is "Overlay Error. Program halted.". Happened on both an XT with
Hercules/Mono and an AT with EGA/Colour.

By the way, the program was decompressed successfully, ie. ZOO had no
problem with it; also, SCAN v77 reported no virus in any of the files.

Suggestions anyone?
