Ah SLMR is OLX.

Mustang Software (Wildcat! BBS) bought Qmodem and SLMR (and renamed the latter to OLX).

SLMR and OLX were by the same author, but OLX was a complete rewrite and didn't look anything like SLMR.

Oh, wow. I didn't realize that. Very cool. I used the heck out of it.

At one point I learned about the QWK format and wrote some code to build a QWK packet out of text files. My idea was to distribute an e-zine as a QWK packet. I successfully made QWK packets but never had any actual content to release.
