   I found that GameSrv creates the files in a node sub directory.  I updated my   
   batch files to look there for the drop files instead of relying on Mystic.

   The reason I went to it is because I went from using Vista to using Windows 10   
   and I like to run a few DOS only door games.  GameSrv can run the doors in DOS   
   Box.  I switched to Windows 10 because I'm running the little AUTH API that I   
   wrote on it (Vista doesn't support the latest TLS).
