Are you sure you don't mix old documentation with the new DJGPP v2?  In 
v2, there are no *dc.zip files, all the info files come with the binary 
distributions *b.zip.  If you use the old Info files, you might look at 
the docs for old versions of GNU software.

I don't have the docs handy right now, but did you try the CPP docs?  
They are called cpp.inf, cpp.i1, etc.  I'm not sure the directives are 
there, because the docs don't describe the C language, only the 
GCC-specific features.  (They also don't describe the syntax of C, for 
example.).

The C++ class libraries come with its own docs in lgp271b.zip.  What 
other libraries do you miss docs for?

Edit the file `dir' in the info/ subdirectory of the main DJGPP 
installation, and insert these 2 lines somewhere in the middle of it:

* GDB: (gdb.inf).
	The GNU Debugger docs.

That's it!
