Definitely, but upgrade to DJGPP v2.03, not 2.02.

v2.0 had many problems that are long ago solved.  IIRC, even the long
file-name support was not completely operational before v2.01.

> What are the components I would have to change?

For such a significant upgrade, I would suggest to install at least
the following:

   - djdev203.zip
   - gcc2953b.zip
   - gpp2953b.zip (only if you want a C++ compiler and library)
   - bnu211b.zip
   - mak3791b.zip (if you use Make)
   - gdb500b.zip (if you use GDB)

Also, it is advisable to upgrade any programs that invoke other
programs, because v2.01 introduced an incompatible change into the way
DJGPP programs unvoke other DJGPP programs.  (See section 16.6 of the
latest FAQ, for the details--better upgrade the FAQ as well ;-)
