 * ============================================================================
 *  This code attempts to detect the type of the program file being loaded, 
 *  returning the binary image of the file and a type indicator if the 
 *  detection is successful.
 *
 *  It is also responsible for searching the game search path and for trying
 *  different extensions (.ROM, .BIN, .INT) on the provided filename.
 *  In a sense, this is similar to what DOS's COMMAND.COM does for a command 
 *  name, searching for "FOO.COM", "FOO.EXE" and "FOO.BAT" along all the 
 *  directories in the search path in response to the command "FOO."
