Mystic's files.bbs importer is configurable and it can also import PCBoard file 
listings.  I don't know if it would have worked on that file list it sounds 
like it might have been all garbled anyway, but it is possible to define things 
like when the filename and description start, etc.

I had to do it that way because there are several formats of FILES.BBS too.

I've made a note in my TODO list to try to investigate ways that maybe I could 
make it easier to import things like that.
