If you changed stock files then it's doubtful you won't overwrite the
changes.  The best thing to do is to copy off your existing OPAC
directory, install the new version , and then diff the two.  If the
patch that comes out of diff looks good and only contains the changes
you made then you can apply that directly to get your changes back.
However, if the files you edited have changed between version then
you'll need to re-apply the changes by hand.
