Well, here's an IDEA (that is, I haven't tried it out :-)...

Make a copy of your modified Laser Prep. Change type and creator to ALDP/ALD4.
Rename it Aldus Prep. Put it in the Aldus folder (which is inside the System
Folder). Oh yeah, rename the REAL Aldus Prep first. Cross fingers. Print.
IF it works THEN
   send profuse thanks
ELSE don't send profuse thanks...
