- The .info files are AmigaDOS 1.2 and 1.3 specific. They hold information
- about the dirctory. If you are running one of these older operating systems
- and you delete the file, the system will generate a new one. If you are
- running 2.04 or 2.1 and delete the .info files, no problem. They aren't
- needed.
