All the Keen patches are unofficial. Id Software didn't create patches until Doom.
Thank you very much, this helps a lot.

Keen 6 - is there any difference between 1.5 CGA version and ID Anthology version?
Keen Dreams - is there any difference between 1.93 Rev 1 and ID Anthology version?
Still, does anybody knows answers to these two questions?

As I said, I don't think that there was ANYTHING changed for the Steam release. So no, there should not be anything changed.

Sorry, didn't get how Steam release is related to it. I was asking about the ID Anthology (the one of 1996 release year) version and mostly because I saw some patches in this thread converting some versions of Keen 6 and Keen Dreams "to ID Anthology version" and back. But on http://www.shikadi.net/keenwiki/Main_Page site I haven't found any mentions about these versions.

It looks like all of the links are dead. I know spatang.com has drastically changed and it doesn't look like it has been updated for a long time. Megaupload seems to been down. Is there any other place with downloads for these patches? Does anyone here have them? KeenWiki doesn't seem to have them. It would be good to have them uploaded to there.

The archive officialkeen.rar (at MediaFire) posted by Apocalypse Gohan in this thread contains everything from the list. The files just need a safe place, and the links could be updated afterwards. files.keenmodding.org already has a few. Or maybe files.shikadi.net, though the KeenWiki's "Versions" pages currently rely on external sites and the patches are not mentioned at all.
EDIT: The same archive is also available on Google Drive, posted by keenmaster486.

I just downloaded the patches from the MediaFire link and my anti-virus software thinks those are malware. Just to be on the safe side, does anyone know if those are actually malware or my software is just giving a false alarm?
