Is your BBS placing the proper dropfile in the correct location? If you're
putting them in a node directory, nodes 1 and two may already have a
door.sys in them. If nodes 3 and 4 don't have a drop file available, and
the BBS isn't putting one where it should be.. that could be why your games
aren't running properly.

Regards,
Nick
