Maybe in practice a lot of them are, but door32.sys is just a dropfile format. There's no requirement or garauntee that the door be 32 bit (or even for windows).

The 32 is kind of misleading, because it has nothing to do with the drop file format.

The reason most door32.sys doors are 32bit is because it's a new format that gOOrOO made up more recently, so most new doors support it. Plus it's easier to find documentation on and is a much simpler dropfile format (and all the modern BBSes seem to support it).
