(If it's pure hearsay, please don't ;-) If the docs is relevant and tells you non-trivial things, there ain't no such thing as ``too much to read'', at least I haven't yet seen such a beast. Usage information and tips are *always* at premium: the current forum is one _very_ good example of this, since the amount of good-quality docs which comes with DJGPP is quite large, and yet many questions posted to this group still need a guru to answer them. The right Way of dealing with ``too much docs'' is to use it as a reference, not as a manual. In an Info reader, that means using the `i' command (index-search) as your primary means of finding relevant information, as opposed to browsing the manual as a linear document. As for ``decent help browser'', please try at least some of the suggestions in section 5.1 of the DJGPP FAQ, before you make up your mind about that.
