The Goliath Light for sale with "Engines Direct" is probably the old version
that was once distributed with the Young Talents CD, which also contained the
other engines on the same page. So I doubt that Goliath Light 1.5 was ever a
commercial entity. However, I can't explain the actual disappearance of the
engine from the download area.
