Those files have been part of LISTSERV since 1986.  They were originally named using the 8x8 file naming convention under VM/CMS.  There was no reason to change the names when LISTSERV was ported to the “workstation” operating systems, thus they remain with those names to this day.

I have a question on some files I found in the listserv/home directory.

Peers.namesum

Permvars.file

Bitearn.nodes

 

Seems to me, if these are legit, they could perhaps be named better.
