Hi Alex, here SET from Argentina: (abajo algo en espa#ol):

>I have all the info files in the .iNN form. If I use gzip this leaves only
>one number: .iNz - so gcc.i1, gcc.i11 etc are all named gcc.i1z. If I try

Well ... in the documentation of info talks about this topic, you must:

1) rename *.iNN to *.NN.

2) modify the sources of the sources of the .inf or what's more easy edit 
(demons Eli, you know why ....) the main file (gcc.inf) and correct the names 
of the references to the files *.iNN to *.NN.
There are two problems involved with this task:
a) The files are in UNIX format, and is better if you let the files in UNIX 
format, so if the editor that you used puts CR+LF at the end of the line you 
must run 'dtou gcc.inf' to convert the file to UNIX.
 If you don't do that Emacs can fail reading the info files. (I don't have 
Emacs so I'm only saying what I heard).
b) Try to correct the names without making the length of the file different, 
for example: 'xxxxx.i10' modified to 'xxxxx.10 ' in the file.

3) Now go ahead and compress the files.

Para Alex en particular:
  Si no entendiste algo preguntame que te lo explico en espa#ol.
