  There are an utility to add the info files to the dir file, I saw it under 
Linux. I don't remmember the name and if the program was ported to DJGPP.
  That's somebody an idea? Eli (the master of porting ;-)?
  If not I can take a look to my Linux to see what's the utility and port it.
  The info file must have the entry that says what to add (all the GNU stuff 
have it).
