Also a list of operator precedence, various phone area codes (country & local), an ASCII table.

I guess it's just a "list of databases that was useful/fun to someone, at some point". Harder to "just get it from the internet" back in the 80s.

Some things like the ASCII table have been there (or rather in the original location of /usr/pub) since near the dawn of UNIX itself: https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/8cf2a84...

(Also available as "man ascii" from almost as long ago https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/Researc... )

OpenBSD seems to like collecting extra items though

The phone codes must be terribly out of date and inaccurate those are so hard to maintain even with paid official data sources
