The packages you downloaded are full of documentation.  The problem is
to find time to read it ;-)

> I want to make Texinfo files and convert it to html, rtf, and pdf.

Here's something that should get you off the ground:

  - Texinfo: use your friendly text editor to write it (Emacs has a
    special mode to facilitate creating Texinfo documents).  The
    Texinfo manual, which describes the Texinfo language, comes with
    txi40b.zip; type "info texinfo" and read there.

  - HTML: type "makeinfo --html -o foo.html foo.txi" to generate HTML
    file foo.html from its Texinfo source foo.txi.

  - PDF: type "texi2dvi foo.txi" then "dvipdfm foo.dvi".  The first
    runs TeX (and several support programs) to create foo.dvi from
    foo.txi, the second generates foo.pdf from foo.dvi.

  - RTF: a program called MakeRTF is floating around, that can be used
    to convert Texinfo to RTF; see section 22.30 of the DJGPP FAQ for
    more details.  I don't have a URL of MakeRTF, but you'll probably
    find it via a Web search.
