Talking about GCC documentation, I suggest that in next release DJ do
not distribute GCC docs in texinfo format. Distribute info formated
docs and/or gcc.dvi instead.  If people do not have tex or Demacs on their DOS,
the texinfo docs are basically useless. There is a utility, called
info.exe.  I find it very handy even if I have demacs. You can find
it on ftp AT oak DOT oakland DOT edu in pub/msdos/gnuish. Also, in the next
release, g++lib.info and g++faq.info perhaps should be included.

   Also, is there a copy of the documentation anywhere which isnt in
   tex format? 
   I'd rather not buy a $50 book and spend two weeks studying it just to read
   a manual for something else.  (Unless there is an easy way of
   converting TEX files to something printable - it seems to be an obscure 
   multi-step process which I would rather not master.)

   Thanks for the help,
   Russ.
