Later release had it but they did not properly update it. Don't worry too much about the dates. At that time we hex-edited the engines (Fritz 6.eng) so our letter designation would show up in the GUI and that probably changed the file date. Chessbase or Morsch put an end to this practice in later versions of Fritz engine. Modifying the title string caused the engine to no longer work, 'insert choice word to chessbase/programmer here'. :) Currently we have to swap fritz engine files in and out of the engine folder, but at least the version numbering is better. Here's how I think Fritz 6.eng went by file size: Light: 275,968 ?: 288,256 I think original from my German Fritz6 CD Old: 291,328 possible that more than one version got renamed 'Old' by installer? a: 289,280 b: 290,816 c: 293,376 m: 311,296 But that was all some time ago and I am just now looking back at an archive CD, BK
