Subj : Pimpwars keeps deleting my DOOR.SYS file?

LORD and other door games don't have this problem...

But Pimpwars (DOS version) keeps removing my DOOR.SYS file and doesn't run. I 
can point it to another temp directory with previous leftover DOOR.SYS type 
files (Maybe leftover from bad logoffs/crashes) and it works when I run it 
manually. But when D3 
DOOR32 option in Mystic executes it, doesn't work. Looking at my call logs 
(redirecting the echo statements into a log file), the commands are correct 
that Mystic is executing.

D:
D:\DOORS\BNU\BNU
D:\DOORS\PIMPWARS
D: CALL PIMPWARS.EXE E:\TEMP%3\DOOR.SYS %3

but it never runs unless I manually point it to another set of DOOR files.

If I kickoff the game off via the BBS and run over to the other computer 
running my BBS and check the temp1 dir (Logged onto node 1), the files are 
there...but after 20 seconds they are auto-removed by the game. 

Like I said, all my other games don't have this problem...

I know these are temporary files and are removed after the game is over.


Any ideas?
