Hi all,
OK, here is my final candidate for the new dir.txi. Please make
comments and suggestions as you think appropriate. I have included
entries for every DJGPP package that has an info file. I have also
introduced a package index immediately following the initial DJGPP
entries, as was suggested earlier in this thread.
I took a copy of the dir.txi from CVS and integrated all of the changes
since the 1999 copy in the 2.03 distribution, which was my original
base. In particular, I included bash, the history api, and the Elisp
documentation entries, along with Eli's latest update to the texinfo
section.
If there are no major complaints, I will submit a diff against CVS.
Mailed from Netscape this time, so I hope this comes through cleanly.
BTW, after pasting the file into this message and saving it, I did have
to delete a leading ">" that Netscape put in front of every line
beginning with "From". I suspect Eli is right about that being some
kind of RFC. If it comes through with ">From" instead of "From", please
ignore it. I'm sure it won't be in the diff.

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.) ---
