This can't be correct for Junior 8. The .eng files MUST be the engines, because
those are the files that Chessbase offered for the engine upgrades. In the case
of Junior 8 the .dll files probably deal with "secondary" matters like
initialisation, interface to the Chessbase GUI and copy protection. I assume
that the DLL's weren't posted because there has been no change in them.
