Thanks for the response, Eli.

The 'flex.info' file is in the \DJGPP\lib directory.

I tried renaming it from 'flex.info' to 'flex.inf'.

When I type 'info flex' I get 'bad command or filename' and the info
program hangs. I have to press ^C to break out of it. I've also
installed Bison, and 'info bison' works OK.

When I run 'info' and *then* try to get info on 'flex', I get the msg.
'Cannot find the node "Top"'.

I've tried reinstalling all the info files (including executables) -
still the same. I can't find the 'dir.txi' file, otherwise I'd try
regenerating the 'dir' file. Do you know where it should be?
