IMHO, the docs should be accessible from within the editors that
people use to develop programs.  Since Emacs can do that, I'm happy.
RHIDE can do it as well, so users of RHIDE are happy, too.  I suggest
that if you use another editor, either make it support Info or switch
to an editor which does.  Having a TSR that can pop up the docs is
IMHO less useful than integrated support built into the editor.

I think there is an Info-to-NG converter in the DJGPP archives (look
for infngXX.zip, where XX is the version number).  I think it's in
v2apps directory.
