ÌWhen you start the program, the screen will show the main
menu as shown below. At the top of the screen you will find
the version number of CDLIB you are running and the date it
was compiled. Below the version information is the
copyright notice.ÞJÞ

ÌRight under the copyright notice you will find the number of
database records currently in memory. This will be 0 until
a CDLIB database file is read from disk or records are
entered at the keyboard. This revision of CDLIB can hold
4096 records in memory on a 640k machine, assuming there are
no TSR (Terminate and Stay Resident) programs loaded. If
your machine has less memory or a good bit of it is taken up
by TSR programs, CDLIB may limit the number of records you
may work with.ÞJÞ

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/
