XEmacs doesn't install it's own documentation in gzipped format, but it does support gzipped info docs out of the box. At least, it did for me under 'xemacs -vanilla'.

Maybe your problem isn't with XEmacs after all if your stand-alone info doesn't work either? -- |---<Steve Youngs>---------------<GnuPG KeyID: 10D5C9C5>---| | XEmacs - It's not just an editor. | | It's a way of life. | |------------------------------------&lt;youngs(a)xemacs.org&gt;---|
