You can download a "man" package from

ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/B20

You have to download the "ncurses" package from the same site.

I have a precompiled version of info-2.18, which works on my
pc without problems. Because many people in this group seems
to miss sth like this, I will publish it in the next days on

ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Vinschen_Corinna/B20


Regards,
Corinna
