Some file managers (e.g. Volkov Commander) used that too. Actually still do: Total Commander[0] can use to show a short description for each file.
I used it in a game i wrote for an MSDOS game jam a few years ago[1][2] to add some era relevant flavor (and also dirinfo for Norton Commander and clones).
