I had successfully used the info system that came with the v2.00 distribution, but when I upgraded to 2.01, I discovered that the INFO.EXE that came with the release is slightly dysfunctional. The problem occurs when I attempt to jump to a link (such as gcc.inf) which has references to more files by the same root name (gcc.i1, gcc.i2, etc.). At this point, I get the error message "cannot find node 'top'". This error occurs for TXI370B.ZIP and TXI390B.ZIP files. The files in TXI360B.ZIP work fine. (However, if I recompile the sources in TXI360S.ZIP under DJGPP v2.01, the problem reappears.) Following a reference to a node that is complete in itself (such as DJGPPFAQ.INF) has worked fine for all versions and compilations. I am running MS-DOS 6.22 and QEMM 7.01 on a Pentium 90, but am not running from a DOS box under Windows. I must have some weird configuration problem, but I have tried all the permutations I could think of, and I can't get it to work right, except with the older TXI360B.ZIP files. I have tried the suggestion in the FAQ to use DTOU.EXE to convert the .INF files to from DOS to UNIX format, but that didn't help matters. My INFOPATH environment variable must be correct, otherwise I could not reference *any* node. This problem has me befuddled. Any ideas? -Eric Rudd rudd AT cyberoptics DOT com
