The 'info.exe' works; but in itself NOT very impressive:
1) the size of that font is VERY TINY
   1a) is there anyway to ENLARGE the font two or THREE times?
   (why is the :: openly visible? if thats a part of the tex hyperlink
     mechanism, strikes me as quite primitive!)
2) Tex format is not really very popular or preferred by most users
   for a variety of reasons!
3) ASCII TEXT has been and is still THE MOST preferred format for
   most people.

The question is:
Where can one find the libc documentation in pure ASCII text format?

Love DJGPP!
