Trying to open a very old client map

I have a copy of the pre-alpha UO client and I am trying open the map to take a look (call me curious).  InsideUO works to some extent but the map itself is distorted beyond recognition.  Just curious if you have any suggestions to get CenterED to view it.  The main problem I am having is that no radarcol.mul exists so it boots me out.

I threw the client up here if you want to have a look for yourself

Well, I'd say the filesizes are wrong - tried to fix them with the mapsizefix tool submitted somwhere here, probably it's the same case with all the other files but I have no knowledge about the correct filesizes.

And the radarcol.mul file.. well just copy one from ML ;D

I'll try to fool around the files with mulpatcher and will see if that does anything.  *likes to dabble in things he doesn't understand* :P

The map has a completely different size, but seems to be at least using the same fileformat. I suspect the first map was a square, so you could try it with the size 128 x 128. But I can't promise anything, since it could be anything with the product 16384 (= width * height).

Yeah, I've tried the above suggestions, it still hangs on Initializing...    
I can only surmise it is one of the other files that is giving it fits.

Thanks anyhow
