/* TEXT.C This filter alters the text within a file as specified in */
/* the command line. TEXT is invoked by: */
/* */
/* TEXT [conv1 [conv2] ... [convn]] */
/* */
/* where the text conversion instructions are optional. Text is read */
/* from the standard input device, converted using the conversion */
/* instructions and written to the standard output device. The */
/* conversion instructions are: */
/* */
/* dwhite - delete all white space */
/* lwhite - delete all leading white space on each line */
/* twhite - delete all trailing white space on each line */
/* rwhite - reduce all white space to a single blank space */
/* upcase - convert to upper case */
/* smcase - convert to lower case */
/* quote - do not alter text within single or double quotes */
/* */
/* Conversion instructions may be abbreviated to one or more charac- */
/* ters, and may be in any mixture of upper and lower case. */
/* Unidentified conversion instructions are ignored. Finally, in- */
/* structions are processed in the order listed above, except that */
/* quote affects all other instructions. */
/* */
/* NOTE: Under DOS 2.0, if redirection is used, the input file must */
/* must be terminated with a Ctrl/Z ('\032') character; other- */
/* wise the system will hang. Therefore, be very careful when */
/* constructing pipes to make sure that previous filters do */
/* output a Ctrl/Z character. */

Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!
This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.
But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
