This indicates that you have a problem with your Groff installation. The
file DESC should be in c:/elc/djgpp/share/groff/font/devascii/ directory,
and the environment variables which are mentioned in the file
gnu/groff-1.10/djgpp/README (it comes with the Groff distribution) should
be set correctly. Please check these points. I suggest to re-read that
README file and make sure everything is set up as it says, and if that
doesn't help, reinstall Groff from gro110b.zip.

Info just calls `man' which again tries to run Groff, which fails. You
need to find out why does Groff fail.
