A less intrusive way would be to just set the Info-directory-list variable in
your .emacs file to include the gnu-win32 info directory as well. E.g:
(setq Info-directory-list '("c:/gnu-win32/b18/info" c:/mumble/mumble/emacs-19.34/info"))
using the appropriate directories for your system.

Tkinfo-1.5 works fine.

You may set the following variables in your ~/.emacs:
*****
Info-directory-list's value is ("/home/racke/share/info" "/usr/local/share/info" "/usr/local/info" "/usr/info")
Documentation:
List of directories to search for Info documentation files.
nil means not yet initialized. In this case, Info uses the environment
variable INFOPATH to initialize it, or `Info-default-directory-list'
if there is no INFOPATH variable in the environment.
The last element of `Info-default-directory-list' is the directory
where Emacs installs the Info files that come with it.
Info-additional-directory-list's value is ("")
Documentation:
List of additional directories to search for Info documentation files.
These directories are not searched for merging the `dir' file.
*****
There is a Info-reader for Tcl/Tk (Tkinfo). Dunno if it works on
Windows.

Piece 'o cake. Just edit the 'dir' file that lives in the 'info'
directory of your NT Emacs installation. Here's an example line that
I added to mine to point to the bash info files:
* Bash: (c:/gnu-win32/info/bash.info). The Bourne Again SHell.
Just follow the pattern substituting in the paths to where things live on
your file system and you should be all set.
BTW, if you invoke Emacs's info mode with a prefix argument
(e.g. using 'C-u C-h i'), Emacs will prompt you for the path/filename
of the info file you want to browse.
Hope this helps.

I have the user tools only, not the compilers, etc. (for now :-). I notice
there are plenty of Info files in the info directory. This is nice, but
useless without a way to read them. I have NT Emacs, & could use that. Is
there a way to hook the Cygnus info files into the NT Emacs' Info tree?
Alternatively, is there a stand-alone Info reader available?
Thanks.
