Quattro Pro for Windows 6 Uninstall Utility Easter Egg

The credit dialog looks like this:

However I didn't find out how to invoke it from the uninstall utility.
The hack way of getting this dialog is to compile and run the following Borland C++ 4 application (or equivalent in another system). Alter the application path as necessary.
#include <owl\owlpch.h>
#include <owl\applicat.h>

class TCallDllApp : public TApplication
{
	public:
		void InitMainWindow();
};

void
TCallDllApp::InitMainWindow()
{
	EnableCtl3d();
	SetMainWindow(new TFrameWindow(0, 0, new TWindow(0, 0, 0)));
	UINT Ret = WinExec("c:\\qpw6\\uninstal.exe", SW_SHOWNA);
	if(Ret >= 32)
	{
		TModule TheEXE("", GetModuleHandle("uninstal.exe"));
		TDialog Dial(MainWindow, "CREDIT", &TheEXE);
		Dial.Execute();
	}
	PostQuitMessage(0);
}

int
OwlMain(int /*argc*/, char* /*argv*/ [])

{
  return TCallDllApp().Run();
}
You can also see the dialog by using a tool such as Resource Workshop and looking at the dialog resource named CREDIT, but the CTL3D effect is then not visible.
