While converting texindex (part of the Texinfo project), I asked the group 
about globbing (expanding wildcards on command-line) for djgpp (texindex
probably needs globbing due to the many files to texindex on each run).
Mr. Delorie replied:

I found that glob.c (obtained as part of the GNUish project) is easily added
and provides acceptable globbing for texindex. I'm very much a novice, so
please excuse this if it is just saying the obvious.

I have a djgpp-version of texindex with globbing. If anyone has need of such a
beast, and is willing to report bugs, please send e-mail. One other thing: The
GNUish project for MSDOS has (limited) ports of the texinfo info.exe and
makeinfo.exe. makeinfo works fine (on small files), but info locks dos5 and
works somewhat on dos4. Does anyone know the status of the GNUish or any other
ports? 

Is there a termcap for djgpp?
