Version should not be a question.  For info to be able to find a
subfile,
its name must be specified in the file named "dir" in the main info
directory.  The format is ridiculously easy to understand - just add
something like this with any text editor:

* RHIDE: (rhide.inf).
	The Turbo C-style IDE for DJGPP.

For the FAQ, do this:

* FAQ: (djgppfaq.inf).
	The DJGPP Frequently Asked Questions List for v2.

Note that the .inf extensions are optional.  I also recommend that you
follow the existing paradigm by inserting the entries in alphabetical
order.  :)

Alternatively, if you don't want to mess with dir, you can switch to
the info directory and type this:

info -f djgppfaq.inf

-or-

info -f rhide.inf

However, this is generally an awkward way to solve the problem.  :)
