subject: QMWIN - v1.11b & v1.11c

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.
