RMCOL.COM is a filter that needs redirection. It takes a file from std input
and removes a column of 0 to 255 contiguous characters from that text
file. The column count will reset at a line boundary. However, tabs will
be treated as single characters, and this may produce unexpected results.
RMCOL then writes the file to std output.
Usage is:
RMCOL n1{delim}n2 [
where n1 is the starting column - 1 (0 to 256), n2 is the number of
columns to remove (0 is accepted, and no columns will be removed), and
{delim} is tab(s), space(s), or a single comma if desired. Careless use
of commas results in errors. Files are std input and std output.
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/
