I don't know - but since it is recommended to remove the old files, why
don't you do it? The .mft files in the djgpp/manifest directory tell you
which files came with which zip file. If you have the fileutils
(fil316b.zip), you can use `rmī to remove all the files that came in
gcc272b.zip:

cd c:\djgpp
rm @manifest/gcc272b.mft

Hmm, what the problem with "reinstalling"? You already did the things
recommended in the readme file (delete old specs file etc.), so
reinstalling would just mean to chdir to your djgpp directory and say

unzip gcc281b

Or am I missing something here?

BNU 2.5.2? Is this a typo?

Yes, there's a bnu281b.zip, released in July 1997, nearly a year ago
(bnu27b is from November 1996). Maybe you should try to find a ftp
mirror that is updated a bit more often?
