The one-line descriptions contained in the files simms.zip or
SIMMS.IDX with format as described in simms.inf in the Simtel.Net
directory /simtelnet/msdos/00_info/ are ideally suited for DBASE III.
To construct a DBASE III database for the files, after the appropriate
structure has been entered via the CREATE command, the DBASE III command
APPEND FROM SIMMS.IDX DELIMITED loads the database.

The full power of DBASE III is now available for searching through the
MS-DOS archives on Simtel.Net.

Many thanks to Larry Armijo for this information.
