i can answer this.  as described in various places like
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/pub/sondeen/magic/new/README
and/or
ftp://ftp.isi.edu/pub/sondeen/magic/new/beta/CHANGELOG,

 .mag/.cif/.strm : simple rule test cases, to examine rules checked and not
 .layers : describes the cif/strm layers read/written by the techfile
 .styles : describes the 'styles' used in the techfile (for techfile hackers)
 .r : defines subcircuits for the (old way) of extracted resistors (labelled
      by special 'resistor' layers - see the CHANGELOG for how it works
      (if you need resistors)), also see test cases under beta/examples
