PREFIX.DOC

PREFIX.COM is a filter that requires redirection. It takes a quoted string
(either single or double quotes may be used, so long as they match, so the
alternate type quote may be used in the string) and prefixes each line of
a text file received from std input with it. This is only to be used with
ASCII text files, although line lengths may be up to 255 characters with
an 80 character prefix.

Syntax: PREFIX 'quoted string' OUTFILE

This would insert 'quoted string' before each line from INFILE and write it
to OUTFILE.

Enjoy !

    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/
