The way retail CS worked was they took the CS MOD, and put it into a modified Half Life game. If I remeber correctly, the executable was hl.exe, proving that all CS retail was, was half-life sripped down, with counter-strike the mod, included in it. Now there is NO way to make this game based off of HL and be stand-alone, unless, you use the older WON version, strip it down to the main files, and put your game in it. Then distributing but this is considered illigel...
