** BYTE Sieve Benchmark
** Version 1 for 8088/8086/80286/80386
** March 1988
** Written in BYTE Small-C
** Based on Small-C by J.E. Hendrix
**
** This program executes the infamous Eratosthenes Sieve Prime
** Number Program from BYTE, Jan. 1983.
**
** Operation:
** 1. Turn on stopwatch
** 2. Execute SIEVE for LOOP iterations
** 3. Turn off stopwatch
** 4. Report time and number of primes found
** 5. Exit
**

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/
