Hi Justin,
  Last time I had that problem it was because the info files had for
  some reason got the msdos <CRLF> line ending (\r\n) instead of the
  **ix convention of <LF> (\n). Try running dtou on the files (dtou
  is one of the utilities that comes with djgpp). Info can't cope
  with DOS carriage return,Line feed pairs and so barfs.

  The above assumes that info is actually finding the files, if not
  check that you have set the infopath correctly. [If the files aren't
  found you should get a message saying so].

  BTW Most DOS (and windows) text editors will cause that problem, I
  use MultiEdit which allows you to specify unix format or DOS format
  for any text file.

  Hope this helps, feel free to mail anytime.

John
