The first (and presumably only) Shredder 7 CD contains the engine Shredder 7.0

Shredder 7SE contains the engine Shredder 7.02

The last online update is Shredder 7.04

There is a big strength increase from Shredder 7 to 7.04, and even a stylistic
change, so much that I'd feel inclined to call it a different program. I assume
that Shredder 7.02 has a playing strength somewhere between the strengths of the
other two engines, but I'd have to rely on the test results of someone who has
all three.
