Did you try to look into the sources of info.exe?  That should have
cleared things up.

Anyway, in addition to what DJ Delorie said about CR-LF translation,
there is one other quirk: the text of the prologue before the first
node is NOT counted, except for the first subfile.  In the following
example, the text at the beginning of each info subfile upto the first
"^_" marker is only counted once, in the first subfile.  The rest of
subfiles logically begin after this preamble.

   This is Info file cpp.info, produced by Makeinfo-1.55 from the input
   file cpp.texi.

      This file documents the GNU C Preprocessor.
