Hmm-m-m. What if I add "From FOOb.zip" to the section headings for
each package? Would that alleviate your concerns? Pasted below is a
version with the "From" info added back, but the same structure as my
prior version. I also added some extra line spacing to make the
section lines stand out more clearly. My convention was to use 3 blank
lines between major sections (distinguished by containing package), one
blank line after section name and before actual menu entries, and one
blank line between sections in the same package. I also added several
"FROM FOOb.zip" entries not present in the original, and used the
texinfo "@strong{}" emphasis for all of the "From" text.
Is it the loss of "From" info that concerns you, or the basic
structure? I really wanted to adjust the basic structure, not just
tweak the existing one, since the existing structure is what I find
less than usable. It's not a *bad* structure, mind you (not like what
results after all-zippo installs), but it does not help *me* find the
information I need when I need it. I thought others might feel the
same way.
Also, organizing it this way might make it easier in the future to
integrate with updated GNU documentation when @dircategory is more
widely (and consistently) used.

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'.
