Hey all,
I tried also without success. I tried the filename, the two 'common' internal
places, and even the version info table. It seems to me that there must be
another place inside the .eng but I have not turned it out. It's a shame too as
it has nothing to do with copy protection or anything useful IMO.

   I would have liked to see the original called F7a and the first update F7b
but these things seem to take on a life of there own. Anyway it's a minor
grumble if they keep the version info properly.
Regards, BK
