There are 3 updates for Shedder 6. Update 1 is to correct a bug on the Shredder
6 CD which causes the Chessbase GUI version of Shredder 6 to stop working
correctly. It will suddenly stop searching after only 2 plys and 4 interations.
Patch 1 corrects this problem.

Patch 2 is to update the Shedder 6 engine, which adds a new engine leaving
Shredder 6 intact but gives you the Shredder Paderborn engine that won the
WMCC 2002, a free bonus. Patch 2 is the Paderborn engine for the Chessbase GUI.

Patch 3 is the same deal except it's for the Shredder Classic GUI.

Go through steps 1 through 3 and be sure you have kept the path C:/Chessbase by
default and you'll patch your CD and add your new engines for each GUI.

You _Don't_ delete the older versions of Shredder 6. You fix the CD bug and add
2 newer engines, in their repective GUI's.
