Explanation of my "loose BNF" form:
:= reads "is defined as".
Terms in <>s are syntactic objects.
Terms in CAPITALS are keywords.
An item in [] is optional
If a set of items is enclosed in {} with |
between each item, or a range is shown
using the - character, exactly one of
those items must be picked.
* to the right of an object denotes 0
or more occurrences.
+ to the right of an object denotes 1
or more occurrences.
Wherever a separator is necessary to
delimit tokens, the characters ';' and
',' are both valid separators along
with the usual whitespace characters
(space, tab and newline.)

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/
