That's because info.exe looks for that file in the following places:
- as a file name that's the value of the INFOKEY environment variable
- in the directory pointed to by the HOME environment variable
- in the current working directory
This does not include the c:\djgpp\bin directory, so your file is not
found.

Either set INFOKEY=c:\djgpp\bin\_info or set HOME to point to some
directory and put _info there.
