Hi, NO - this changing of the internal name is no longer possible (since Fritz 7, I think) - after every manipulation of the name or version number the engine doesn´t load any more. (Of course there´s a way to override this, but that would need some more ´patching´ of internal routines - so I cannot publish it here!) Regards, Franz.
