1.Does the Shredder6 upgrade make any changes to the Shredder6 engine?

There is a bug in the Shredder 6 CD it's in the Shredder 6 engine AFAIK, which
causes it to stop searching at 2/4, 2 interations 4 moves looked at, after Mar.
4 2002, or thereabouts. This _doesn't_ apply to the Shredder 6 Classic UCI.

The first patch of 3, correct this problem. There is _no_ change in date.

The next 2 patches add 2 new engines, Shredder Paderborn for the CB/Fritz GUI
and patch 3 add Shredder Paderborn engine for the Shredder Classic GUI.
Again _no_ date change, in the CB ver. for Shredder 6

2.I thought I would have 2 different interfaces, even if they looked identical.

The GUI's for Fritz 7 and Shredder 6 CB ver. are virtually identical. But with
certain differences, which are specific to Fritz 7 and Shredder 6, IE Fritzmark
and Shreddermark etc.
However you can go to > menu >options >version and switch to Shredder 6 GUI then
apply. This will give you _all_ the Shredder 6 user and menu options.
Then when you use Fritz 7 change it back to Fritz 7 GUI for all it's features.

I have only see the date change in the Fritz 7 GUI.
