If INF appears, goes directly to Information screen
This is valuable only for:
Info-only application
Applications in which all GO files include the ;INST control
For copyright reasons, the HDG file is enabled only in registered versions
After dearc, the file INFO.GO is displayed in preference to READ.ME
However, if it is missing, program continues to work the old way

Type GO /? at the DOS prompt to see how the program is personalized
A small program may be run after display of GO-INFO.TXT file
This MUST be small to handle all possible "RAM available" situations
