If you could post the properly compiled paint.com I would imagine there would be more people willing to give it a try.
Maybe even open your final working paint.com file in a text editor and save it as a text file, then upload it as (non-human-readable) text to dpasta to accompany the source you have shown already.
That would be so fast I could tell you how it works when booted to a floppy on bare metal already :)
note:
takes up 625 bytes
only needs an ms-dos shell and ibm pc-compatible hardware
and it's fast as hell
