...and inside 'old' is 'older' ad nauseam!

OR

Your App !AppName in Apps is its latest versions and it lives alongside a
folder called AppName which contains subfolders with earlier versions
(AppName_1-01 or just 1-01).

A pity some developers cannot include a version number in a distro's zip
file name. (AppName_1-01/zip)  That would make manual installs easier,
and not help me to obliterate a working copy's zip unintentionally. ;-)
