DON'T GET IT!!!! It is bogus. I tried it and it just does not work!

It patches just 26 files, and when I run the patched version I start at
a day somewhere in the 15000-16000 range and all data is wrong. A little
later the games crashes!

My conclusion is: do the same as with the B patch, throw it away!!!
