All the GNU documentation is in Info format - this was a conscious
decision by the GNU programmers. In order to read the docs, you'll need
to get a suitable browser program such 'info.exe' from
'v2gnu/txi390b.zip'. Once you have this, just type 'info' to start
reading! If you want to print out individual nodes, set the environment
variable INFO_PRINT_COMMAND to indicate the appropriate command.
Of course, it's possible to produce text files from the gcc docs, but
this requires that you have the TexInfo sources from the source
distributions, and the 'makeinfo.exe' program from the txi390b.zip
distribution. Look at the source distribution of the FAQ
(v2/faq210s.zip) for examples of a makefile that produces a text
document from txh sources.
