I have that 65580 one, too - it's OK. I think with some early ES movies
was another version that coughed with faster processors etc. and needed
degrading to work.
(checking) 65600 one seems to be on the ES CD, it works also with my 060
and GFX-card WB, but exiting left GFX srap on the WB. One badly-working
version is called Proj2.
