Curious, I looked a little bit more and the Wikipedia page on BBS software says "SLBBS" is the abbreviation of Searchlight and the executable and documentation of Searchlight BBS agree with that:
 207110  Defl:N    70364  66% 08-01-1988 03:09 5cf79b0f  SLBBS.DOC
  20496  Defl:N    11359  45% 08-26-1989 18:54 b215dcb9  SLBBS.EXE

I guess I could install the old SLBBS to look further...
