The idea is, that there is only one *GUI* program - just like it was with the
previous version, from Fritz 6, across several versions and eninge releases, to
Junior 7. During the version history, you got the latest version of the GUI
each. The only difference I know is, the the "#-Mark" speed test was different,
i.e. Shredder-Mark with Shredder 5.32.

It is basically the same with the Chessprogram7 GUI, but improved beause you can
just switch in the options menu, how you want the program to "identify" so to
speak. Which has no other effect worth mentioning AFAIK except deciding, if you
can run Fritz (7)-Mark or Shredder (6)-Mark.

IOW, it's useless to have that installed twice... I'd either backup F7 engines,
uninstall F7 and install S6, or just install S6 over F7 in the same directory (I
did that longer ago with Fritz 5.32/Hiarcs 7.32 already, and it worked fine).
