AFAIK, you must convert the info texinfo source files to dvi, then
print them. This assumes that you want to print files you are browsing
with Info; other files are just plain ascii, AFAIK. There used to be
a version of documentation in PostScript format on omnigate, but now
it probably would be out of sync with the new version 1.12 of DJGPP.

You have all the necessary files. Look in the directory %DJDIR%/docs/texinfo.
There is a file there called INFO.INF, which should be called just INFO
(without the .INF extension). Whenever you press ``h'' inside Info, it
looks for a node ``Help-Small-Screen'' inside a file called INFO. This is
hard-coded inside Info reader. So just rename that file to INFO, and
you'll get your help.
DJ, I would suggest to change this in some future maintenance release.
Probably, the makefile which generates Info files, should be changed.
Maybe it's even GNU's fault, as I remember that problem popping from
the beginning of times.
