After learning about the 'upgrades' to QMWIN on this echo, I downloaded
QWIN111B.EXE AND QWIN111C.EXE plus the Help file from the Mustang BBS
and tried to install them today.
There are two principal questions I would very much appreciate receiving
advice on:
FIRST:
Everything seemed to go well but after following all instructions
and installation was completed, I ran QMWIN and the logo STILL
indicated I was working with v1.11a!! My QMWIN.EXE file is dated
10/01/94 and contains 1,590,592 bytes so apparently was not modified.
The 1.11b files are dated 3/29/95 and the 1.11c files are dated 5/25/95.
Would anyone have any ideas as to why the version number does not read
1.11c?? After I ran QWIN11B.EXE, I got a message that said:
"If three files were patched your upgrade was successful!"
That was the case and I do not see why I was not at least "promoted" to
v1.11b. In the case of QWIN111C.EXE, I did rceive a somewhat
bewildering message when the patch was being run which ran as follows":
"Applying MODIFY File Patch for 'QMWIN.EXE'
"error ept0036: Old File not found. However, a file of the same name was
found. No update done since file contents do not match."
[The name of the "old file" was not identified.]
Can anyone explain what the above means and what I should/can do to get
to v1.11c - or at least v1.11b [since I don't give a hoot about the
"added support for MD5 secure passwords" ??
SECOND
After updating from my original QmodemPro for Windows to v1.11c
[updates through v1.11a went without a hitch] I seem to have an awful
lot of files that may not be necessary. Am afraid that Mustang has not
been overly helpful in advising what files may be safely deleted. I
would assume that the self-extracting files used for the updating could
be saved on a diskette and eliminated from the QMWIN subdirectory. But
how about such files as:
QMWIN110.RTP 134,806 bytes 5/7/94
QMWIN111.RTP 275,006 11/4/94
QM111B.RTP 398,472 3/29/95
QWIN111C.RTP 29,831 5/25/95
PATCH.EXE 54,779 5/25/95
Are all the above needed to run QMWIN??
Finally, the QMWIN.HLP file [645,068] is dated 3/28/95 but the
LATENEWS.HLP file [16,105] is dated 10/27/94. Should we not have
received an update on the changes effected in v1.11b?
Any and all comments, suggestiona and advice will be deeply appreciated.
