The problem, however, remains a specific point, that WinEQ .992 provokes an "incorrect version" response from EQPN whereas later versions do not. I assume it won't be resolved
Yup. This is all on the same machine, no relaunching of EQPN, just relaunching WinEQ. With .992 I get the error, with .995 I get none (and its working) Its nice to know you didn't do it intentionally. I have no problems with you making your money, I'm just not sure I'm enjoying the way features are ...
