texinfo CVS & DJGPP: info & spurious error message about ~/_info?

[Richard Dawe]

Hello.

I'm using info from texinfo CVS built against DJGPP 2.03. If I start up
info from the first line of a DOS box's command prompt, I see this:

File: dir,  Node: Top,  Next: (dir),  Prev: (dir),  Up: (dir)
info: c:\users\rich/_info: No such file or directory (ENOENT)
   Welcome to the GNU standalone Info program.  The documentation
presented here is part of the djgpp development package.

   To view a topic, use the arrow keys to position the cursor on one of
the lines beginning with a '*' and press 'm' and then 'Enter'.

   This (the Directory node) gives a menu of major topics.  Typing "d"
returns here, "q" exits, "?" lists all INFO commands, "h" gives a primer
for first-timers, "mTexinfo<Return>" visits Texinfo topic, etc.  To edit
this dir-file, edit 'dir.txi', and pass it through 'makeinfo'.

   -- PLEASE ADD DOCUMENTATION TO THIS TREE. (See INFO topic first.) --

I'm wondering if this is supposed to appear:

info: c:\users\rich/_info: No such file or directory (ENOENT)

NB: _info is the name for .info on MS-DOS.

If I run info from any line other than the first line of the command prompt,
I do not see the error message.

bash-2.04$ echo $HOME
c:/users/rich
bash-2.04$ test -f $HOME/_info || echo "It's not there!"
It's not there!

I'm running the display in 50x25 under Windows '98 SE.

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
