The sbbsfile.des is for the single-line description of the file only. We need
to use the extended description for the multi-line output for mp3info, so
that's why I set it up as an "Extractable File Type" instead of a "Testable
File Type". The %s expands to FILE_ID.DIZ.

existed, but never looked myself.
