No, those are info files, created from tex files with the makeinfo 
program.  You need info.exe to read them; that gives you a nice hypertext 
online help system.  Your previous post indicated that you downloaded 
tx1310.zip, so you have info.exe in your djgpp\bin directory.  if you 
path points to that dir, just type info from anywhere and it will come up 
at a 'root' menu.  Make sure you got all the doc files, though.  E.g., if 
you got bnu???bn.zip, you should also get bnu???dc.zip, etc.
