This would mean no advantage since the engine is compiled to only work
with the shareware levels. If you want the engine to be able to run with
the registered version levels, you will have to change some header files
and recompile. I am not going to package the registered version engine
since I do not own the full game and cannot test it.
Since you have no choice about the levels, you can let the engine
download the shareware distribution anyway.

I really have looked around the web for a free replacement for one of
the level sets but remained without success. You can find tons of ad-ons
(even free ones) to either the shareware levels or the registered
version levels but no real replacement. If you know of something that I
have missed, please let me know.
