   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...
