Are you using the DJGPP.ENV file which came with djdev201.zip?  Did
you maybe edit that file?  These problems should never happen with
stock DJGPP.ENV, at least for Info and Emacs (I don't use jed), since
DJGPP.ENV already sets INFOPATH for both Info and Emacs.  It works for
me.

If your DJGPP.ENV is the original one, then you'd need to dig deeper
and post some more information about your system.  Possible causes to
look into:

     1) You installed Emacs outside the DJGPP directory.  DJGPP.ENV
        assumes that Emacs is installed in %DJDIR%/gnu/emacs, where
        DJDIR is the top directory of the DJGPP installation.
        Solution: copy the Emacs directory to where it belongs.

     2) You are running Windows 95 and have some snafu related to long
        file names.  Solution: try setting LFN=y in the environment.

Note that the jed info directory (f:/jed/info) needs to be added to
INFOPATH in the [info] and [emacs] sections, before you can expect
these two to see jed-related info files.
