  In djgppfaq.txt unzipped from simtelnet/gnu/djgpp/v2/faq201b.zip (7 July
1996), are these lines:-

work with EMX, and assume you unpacked everything into `/rsxwdk.'  You will
          `AUTOEXEC.BAT.'
          `AUTOEXEC.BAT.'
renaming their directories to `Coast.'  Therefore, if you don't find the
               `fsdb.'  The latter presents a user interface similar to that
     includes `INFO.EXE' and its docs.  Unzip it and run `Info.'  It will
     If you use Emacs, you already know about `Info.'  (What's that?  You
the utilities, like `Sed' or `Gprof.'*
inside it, usually in the directory called `man' or `doc.'
Objective-C) `cc1obj.exe.'  You can use the `-v' switch to GCC to see what
`cc1.exe.'

  In djgppfaq.htm this sort of thing appears as e.g.    <samp>Info.</samp>

etc etc, with a confusing tramp fullstop included in quoted instructions etc.
There is a need to go through the FAQ's etc replacing .' by '. wherever
necessary. I have read that in USA quite often computer book writers have to
get the AK47 out when printers etc get hardline insistent on putting following
punctuation inside a preceding closing quote regardless of whatever. To my way
of thinking, `Info' is one command, `Info.' is another different command.
