The problem is that emacs understands only predefined set of
extensions for info files.  There is no problem with DJGPP Emacs,
because it uses different set of extensions.  You can change supported
extensions yourself, by adding the following lines in your _emacs file

(setq Info-suffix-list '((".info.gz" . "gunzip")
                         (".info.z" . "gunzip")
                         (".info" . nil)
                         (".inf.gz" . "gunzip")
                         (".inf.z" . "gunzip")
                         (".inf" . nil)
                         (".gz" . "gunzip")
                         (".z" . "gunzip")
                         ("" . nil)))

Add other extensions if necessary.
