Presumably by now CB has removed it and corrected the problem. In answer to your
question, yes, but the CD check doesn't work. I loaded the engine from Deep
Fritz (I had "upgraded" Junior 6), and it gives a default drive of K and
pressing Check Now! activates the engine without a hitch, so no copy protection
either. I tested the engine and it really does work without any problems (in
answer to William Penn). I got an e-mail from CB hinting the patch installed the
engine due to a bootleg copy of the Fritz 7 engine on my machine, which annoyed
me to no end. I removed the engine, uninstalled the patch, and tried it all
again on a different CB program and presto! the engine was installed again.
