Comment (by laenion):

 I'm sorry for the outdated link, I've moved the educational games to
 another directory meanwhile. The file listing can be found in
 http://medienarchiv.digitalimagecorp.de/Optisch/Anwendungen%20-%20Lernspiele/Addy50KidsMatheKlasse12BoxCD1
 .cue-iso9660-joliet.xml now.

 Replying to [comment:1 BJNFNE]:
 > From where the version exactly come from?

 It says so on the Autostart screen ("ADDY5 5.01 installieren"), and the
 disc itself contains the (empty) file ''AexxD501.cd1''.

 The later 5.04 Hybrid Windows / Mac release additionally has the version
 number printed on the disc itself.

 > BTW, currently we only collect these so called DEV7 games in our
 detection tables, they are actually not supported by ScummVM, due to the
 reason the use an newer version of the Engine and Script System which is
 not yet implemented.

 Yes, I'm aware of that - but I've seen that other variants were submitted
 already.

 Replying to [comment:2 BJNFNE]:
 > could you also tell me about the version number of the main executable
 called Loader7.exe?

 It doesn't seem to have one. For the Keep Case release I can see
 "1.1.0.0", but for the original box release I couldn't find any version
 information embedded in the binary.

 ----

 To summarize: From what I can see there have been two 5.0 versions
 available in Germany:

 **Version 5.01** games were released in 2001 in a big box and only
 contained a Windows version.

 In 2003 the games were re-released in **Version 5.04**. This time the
 packaging is a Keep Case, and the installation disc contains both Mac and
 Windows versions.
