DOS utility to display 1st line of all files in directory? (Users)

I thought I once had a little DOS utility that would display a list of the first lines of all the text files in a specified directory.

I thought it was called DIRFIRST.

But I can't find it on any of my old floppies.

And when I Google "DIRFIRST" I get something completely different.

Could I be thinking of an old CP/M utility?

Do any of you know of such a utility that would work in MS-DOS 6.21?
