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

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.
