That's because info.exe looks for that file in the following places:

	- as a file name that's the value of the INFOKEY environment variable
	- in the directory pointed to by the HOME environment variable
	- in the current working directory

This does not include the c:\djgpp\bin directory, so your file is not 
found.

Either set INFOKEY=c:\djgpp\bin\_info or set HOME to point to some 
directory and put _info there.
