OK, I'll pick that up. Maybe DJ ought to install that info.exe on his  
server. The info.exe that one can simply click-download is definitely 
the v1 one.

I've never installed info before. Actually, what I'm trying to do is
update my plug-n-play ("ez2load") GNAT kit. As you probably know,
the NYU/ACT folks include a mini-djgpp (1 diskette worth, zipped,
including the FAQ) which has just enough to run GNAT. I'm adding 
some stuff, especially the info files for GDB, which I think are 
quite essential. So I figured info would be nice for reading these docs.

Thanks for the help, as usual, Eli!
