I can read various bits of text when opening the Int.ldl in TextPad, for example.  This includes
things like "This program must be run under Microsoft Windows", "Borland" various event and
method names, and at the end of the file, "Jack", "Jill", and "Sam".

I see the same sorts of things in Str.ldl - I'm not going to do a bit by bit compare, but they
look identical to my eye.
