Unfortunately, this (archived at simtel as mj-211, by the same author)
isn't Mah Jong.  It's a game played with Mah Jong tiles, all right,
but it's a completely different game.  (Like you could play Nim with
checkers or something.) It's a version of a game sold commercially as
Shanghai and as freeware (of some sort) for the Macintosh as GunShy.

It's very pretty, and appears to work well (though it leaves my screen
green for some reason).

I, too, would be interested in a PC Mah Jong.  I've got one from a
fellow in Australia that I got from a PD house, but it has some problems.
