This is to announce that the DJGPP port of the GNU Texinfo package,
version 3.12, has been updated on SimTel.NET mirrors.

The new zip files should be dated June 30 or later.
The changes include:
- info.exe was linked with a modified version of __dpmi_yield
library function, which doesn't cause it to hang on certain
(rare) configurations of Windows 95;
- makeinfo.exe has several bugfixes, the most important are:
* the bug with using the `@' character (and other special
characters) in node names has been fixed;
* makeinfo now runs almost as fast as version 3.9 did (the maximum
slow-down I've seen is 5%, whereas the original release of 3.12
ran up to 10 times slower);
- texi2dvi now always deletes temporary files, even when TeX
produces empty output or is aborted.
The file djgpp/DIFFS2 in the source distribution tells the whole story
about the changes.
Enjoy.
