"Shredder 704" suggests that you are talking about the chess engine. Originally
it was only available as a UCI engine by download from the Chessbase website.
Then it was provided in .eng format with the March 2003 update for Shredder 7.
The latest update of Oct 8 2003 did not change that engine, only the GUI.

I would advise Shredder 7 users NOT to get the Oct 8 2003 update because it's
BUGGY! Among other things, the Shredder704.eng engine will freeze-up in Infinite
Analysis mode at random times. The March 2003 update was OK, but unfortunately I
don't think you can download it anymore. I saved a copy, as probably did most
people who downloaded it orginally. Unfortunately new purchasers of Shredder 7
are left up the proverbial creek without any reliable (not buggy) update
available!?!? That's a pretty funny way to run a business.
