keylist.txt - is just hot-key definitions
dgen_themes.000 - this is where the 1mb shrinks from
it goes from 2.5 to 1.5 mb, my guess is that this is the title music or some other track (or group of tracks) that gets loaded, removed from archive, and thrown away. without that track the game would get a file not found error, and with most programming languages a file not found causes a crash (excluding visual basic command 'on error resume next')

to fix this, all i need to do is copy dgen_themes.000 that is 2.5mb over the 1.5mb

its a shame a bug like this could get past beta testing, but i guess anything could happen.
