I have all the INFO docs that came with the *DC.ZIP files, and am familiar
with operating the INFO program. There are some things I'd like to look up
but can't seem to find (at least, I haven't just yet).
For starters, preprocessor directives ought to be enumerated, described,
etc. in there somewhere but I havn't found it. (It would logically be in
the GCCnnnDC.ZIP file right?) There are loads of them from what I can
gather besides the common #include, #define, #if defined, #ifndef, and #endif.
Another thing: All of the functions of libc and many of the libm functions
are documented fully, including a lot of the __djgpp and __dpmi group, but
I have not found some functions of other libraries. Is there another zip I
should have that has these?
Lastly I installed gdb and the doc file gdbxxxdc.zip, but the info program
menu doesn't now list the gdb docs. I managed to find out what the file
name for it was and how to jump there bypassing menus in Info, but
annoyingly there seems to be no direct path through the menus to the gdb
docs... I am assuming you are supposed to create this link manually
somehow but in the Info on Info I couldn't manage to find out how...
