We do not name our beta engines in this manner. You have a fake -- which is either HIARCS 7.32 or a slightly later version that is very close to H7.32. Always right click the .ENG file and click properties. HIARCS' .eng file will now have the 'VERSION' tab like Fritz and Shredder. You will notice the FAKE HIARCS9.ENG you have does not have this tab as H.732 and family .eng files did not either. -elc.
