Anachronist has these running on his BBS exclusively, they aren't released to the public.

If you're using Windows 64 bit, you're going to have a heck of a time running doors. Find 32 bit doors, you should be able to run those ok, but 16 bit doors will be a pretty big challenge.

The dropfile is merely the file that the BBS generates on the fly to tell the doorgame how to communicate with the BBS. It includes things like username, account details, time left, comport, etc.

For 32 bit doors you'll want to use door32.sys, which Mystic makes automatically when you use the menu command 'D3'. It places this file in c:\path\to\mystic\temp<node>\door32.sys - you can tell 32 bit doorgames to look there for this file and they should run.
