i think you're thinking of the digital distortion's message lister...
slyedit has three start up modes, DCT, ICE or RANDOM... the message lister
thing is something separate and i don't find any indication of it in Max's
setup... the slyedit stuff is there and the docs do reference the DDML but
that's all i can find about it... AFAIK, slyedit came with sbbs when Max
first pulled it off the repo and compiled it... i'm not aware of anything
special done to acquire it...
