Thanks Selden.

I’ll give strings a try.  And I’ll try running the app - I have an XP system in a VM under Oracle’s Virtualbox for running Civ II, so hopefully that will work.  I’ll let you know.

Also, if you or anyone else here wants a copy of the exe file (notwithstanding the issues in trying to run it), let me know.  It’s attribute metadata dates it to 1998, which sounds about right to me.

First off, a huge thank you to Selden for organising that.

I've had a quick look through the strings output and the A/U historical dates and events given seem to line up with those already given by CJ in the past.  So too does the stellar data - at least in terms of station locations and so forth.  I might also have half a mental handle too on some of the data structures used by ChView for the stellar data it uses - it looks familiar but I will need to compare it to some other old material I've compiled over the years.
