I have quoted above some of the information needed.  I quoted what g00r00
told me to used to get the door running.  I don't know how you're doing it
but the above can be broken down in to 2 pieces to better understand how to
get the door to work.... 1st, c:\doormud\dmud32d.exe , points where the exe
file to get the door working... 2nd, -n %N -d %Pdoor32.sys... is the info
needed to tell the door where the door info files are...

-n %N tells the program what node you are on.... current mystic BBSes use
that, prior version and or other BBSes my use something else. The next is -d
%Pdoor32.sys .... this is the argument that points to the directory where
your door files are... current versions of Mystic would take that %P and
translate that as \mystic\temp1 or \mystic\temp2 or \mystic\temp3... and so
on... depending on the node you are on. The ending to that statement
door32.sys is the door info file.

Lets just say that your software doesn't use the %P argument you can execute
the door like this...
c:\doormud\dmud32d -n %N -d \mystic\temp%N\door32.sys

The error you're getting sounds like the door isn't able to find the door
info files .... The -d \mystic\temp%N\door32.sys part...
