I wasn't trying. And FYI : second guessing the word 'need' won't either.

No - there's no other way.

You mean : you don't know of any. Which is fine. But choose your words more carefully.
For those looking for the straightforward solution (in the form of old Max+Plus II versions), I just found the older ones (even though Altera does not seem to point to them anywhere on their website) :
ftp://ftp.altera.com/outgoing/release/ Among those I tried of that bunch (7.0, 9.0, 9.3, 10.0), the 9.x versions seem to have MAX7000A support (yay). So if you have the same problem, here's a possible solution if you can handle the idiosyncrasies of Max+Plus II, until someone invents some slight tweak for programming files or Quartus device files to retarget them from MAX7000AE or MAX7000S to MAX7000A.
