Junior Paris was version 4.5 as a Win32 program compiled by Visual C++.

The Junior engine for Fritz/CB is version 4.6 as a Win16 DLL compiled by
Borland C.

On SSDF, it is Version 4.0 as a DOS program compiled by Borland C.

Version 4.6 is slightly better than 4.5 (Paris), but the different
platform means that the Paris engine is about 20% faster (hard to
measure exactly because Win16 performance figures are unstable. The
ratio may also depend on the processor/cache etc.). The Fritz/CB engine
performance is comparable to the SSDF engine, but with all the
improvements of version 4.6 over 4.0, which, to my best knowledge, are
significant.
