Drivers 27-31 are reserved for an application's own use.  It is
somewhere in IM, probably the Driver chapter in volume 2.  You could put
such a driver in a stack, for example.  This is why, by the way, that
the Font/DA Mover only allows 15 DAs: 12-26.  (These are all from
memory-I may be one number off..)  The never-shipped MacBasic had its
own printer driver, for example, and it was ID 28 and lived inside the
app.  It worked fine.
