As there is another version of 09/2000 which was at least after the CB8
servicepack for F6 it would be better now and mostly in all other
cases of different engine versions of the same kind to call them by date,
e.g.F6_04/00 or sth like that.
But...maybe this should be unnecessarily if CB (and others?) are going on
now to put in the exactly V.Nr.in the ENG file like in the new one which
is mentioned as Fritz 6.0.0.74 in the atttribute menu!
It would be even much better if this V.Nr. would be shown in the engine
window of the CB GUIs for better distinction of various versions.

With friendly regards, Günther Simon
