It is okay to do this in the case of djdevNNN.zip, but in general, you
should uninstall the previous version first.  The list of the files in
each package is in the appropriate *.mft file in your manifest
directory, so it should be easy to remove them.  For example, the list
of files that you installed from djdev202.zip is in the file
manifest/djdev202.mft.

CONFIG.SYS is not changed by uninstalling DJGPP.  The only files you
need to worry about are djgpp.env, in case you modified it manually
(which you shouldn't); and the file info/dir if you installed optional
packages and edited that file, either manually or by running the
`install-info' utility.

If you did modify these two files, rename them before uninstalling the
old version, then compare them with the new files that come with
djdev203.zip, and copy any changes you need manually.  That's it!
