The subject has already been risen and dealt with in this newsgroup, but I 
have recently been having problems with gzipped info files - neither Emacs 
nor stand-alone Info recognizes them as valid documents. All the files have 
proper extensions (.inz, i1z etc.) but yet under *Windoze 95* neither of 
abovementioned programs sees them. Info reports that there's no manpages for 
this or that topic and Emacs says that there's no Top node in there. Under 
plain DOS everything's fine as it used to be. I suspect that this has 
something to do with LFN support under Win95 - maybe the extensions generated 
under this OS are different than those derived under DOS (e.g. inf.gz instead 
of inz)?. Is there a simple solution to that or do I have to look into sources 
of these programs?

P.S. I use the following versions:
		Info 2.16 from Texinfo 3.9
		Emacs 19.34 (with all the DJGPP-specific patches applied)

P.S.2. Maybe it has something to do with gzip (v 1.2.4)?
