They had a newer version of The Online Pub (multi-user chat door) than what I'm using.

I've tried to search online for the filename, but Google came back with very few results, including a BBS that apparently is not running now, and what looks like a file archive in Germany that may only be accepting dialup connections.

With many old BBSes having disappeared, it seems like BBS files are fairly hard to find these days.  Online search engines probably don't prioritize indexing this stuff because not many people are interested in it.
