    I've noticed several door games/external programs in the xtrn directory that do not have install-xtrn.ini. Is this intentional? (Maybe the games are incomplete or don't work?)..or is it an oversight?

    dgnlance
    dovebowl
    kingdom
    life
    mrc
    pisorama

    seabattle

    That's (mostly) intentional. Some of those don't even work any longer because they depended on a JS comm library that was removed from CVS/Git long ago.

    If you get some time maybe you could document those either in code comments or git issues and I could take a stab at fixing one or more. If they are truly a lost cause then they could probably be eventually removed from the repo
