WARNING: Scott's exec breaks without warning anytime
a semicolon was contained in a quoted string, so the exec will *not*
correctly unpack the MAILB00K XEDIT file, which contains such strings
in several places.  (It would also fail for semicolons within comments,
but none of those exist because the comments have been stripped before
compressing the code.)
