You have an outdated mv.exe.  Please get the latest fil313b.zip (dated 
Nov 5th or later); mv.exe there should have the size of 69632 bytes and 
be dated Nov 5, 1996, 14:25.

This is an entirely different problem.  I'd guess that the g77 Info file
is called `g77.inf' on your system.  If so, you should rename it to
`g77.info', because when LFN is enabled, info.exe looks for the full long
filenames.  (Alternatively, I think you could say "info -f g77.inf" and it
should work too.) If the file is indeed called `g77.inf' and you got it
from some pre-compiled distribution, I suggest you write to whoever
produced that g77 distribution and ask them to make their zip files
LFN-clean (they should use an LFN-aware Zip program and call the file by
its original long filename when zipping); or maybe the zip is OK, but you
unzipped it with an unzip program which doesn't support long filenames. 

Btw, the recommended method of calling Info is this:

		info g77

This requires that you update the master menu (found on the info/dir 
file) to include a menu item whose name begins with "g77".  Info will 
then find the file g77.inf automagically.
