   I found that GameSrv creates the files in a node sub directory.  I updated my   
   batch files to look there for the drop files instead of relying on Mystic.   
      
    g0> I've never used GameServ so I am curious what it does that would be   
    g0> appealing to use?  Mystic for example already does the same door I/O   
      
   The reason I went to it is because I went from using Vista to using Windows 10   
   and I like to run a few DOS only door games.  GameSrv can run the doors in DOS   
   Box.  I switched to Windows 10 because I'm running the little AUTH API that I   
   wrote on it (Vista doesn't support the latest TLS).
