I really think you are talking about the most recent version of f0dder's
loader, which can be found here:
http://f0dder.schwump.net/misc.htm
It includes a patch.dll, and when you double-click ldr_xcom1.exe, it opens a
box in which you can choose which program you want to run, such as UFO. But,
that might not be it, anyway. If it is not, please let me know when you find
the program you had; I would be very interesting in it. Thanks
