OK, here is a new copy of dir.txi, with an entry for each package on
simtel v2gnu only (did not do v2apps, v2misc or v2tk yet, next version
will include those) that actually had a texinfo file. There are
several that only have man files, or none at all, and they are not
listed.
This is only the categorical listing. Does anyone think we also need a
strictly alphabetical listing under the heading "Individual utilities",
or perhaps "Alphabetical listing of utilities"? One *can* be
generated, perhaps even in an automated script, but I don't want to put
in that extra work if the community doesn't think we need it.
There are some entries I wasn't entirely sure how to place (such as the
GNU which utility, under "Searching files"). I ask your advice on
whether my selections make sense to you, and if not what you would
suggest instead.

Welcome to the GNU standalone Info program. The documentation
presented
here is part of the djgpp development package.
To view a topic, use the arrow keys to position the cursor on one of
the
lines beginning with a '*' and press 'm' and then 'Enter'.
This (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics. Typing "d"
returns here, "q" exits, "?" lists all INFO commands, "h" gives a
primer
for first-timers, "mTexinfo<Return>" visits Texinfo topic, etc. To
edit
this dir-file, edit 'dir.txi', and pass it through 'makeinfo'.
--- PLEASE ADD DOCUMENTATION TO THIS TREE. (See INFO topic first.) ---
