Subject:	Bug in v2.0 Info.EXE with a fix

There is a bug in INFO.EXE distributed with the official release of DJGPP
v2.0 which causes the screen to be set to 25x40 dimensions when you exit
Info.  This only happens if you use the INFO_LINES environment variable to
get more than 25 lines inside Info, so a work-around is not to use
INFO_LINES. (What's that?  You don't know what INFO_LINES is?  Then read
the file README.DJ which came with TXI360B.ZIP.) The bug is actually in
the library module conio.c, so to fix it apply the patch below and rebuild
