That does not work as the INFO (or INFO.INF) file is not in
\djgpp\docs\djgpp and when I define INFOPATH to point to the directory in
which the INFO (and INFO.INF) files live, I get a "can't find info.exe"
message when running info, so INFOPATH is conflicting with PATH, which does
have the correct directory for info.exe.

I have not used earlier versions of DJGPP, however, it would appear that the
setup instructions need to be changed.
